It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Researchers uncover how cells develop and specialize, advancing prospects for regenerative dental treatments. Researchers at Science Tokyo have identified two separate stem cell lineages responsible ...

Before a chain of amino acids can become an active and useful protein, it must be processed and folded into the appropriate ...

Microplastics have been detected in human blood, brain tissue, and even bones, where they may weaken skeletal structure and accelerate cell aging. Recent studies suggest that these particles could ...

Cells hidden in the skull may point to a way to detect, diagnose and treat inflamed brains. A detailed look at the skull reveals that bone marrow cells there change and are recruited to the brain ...
