A recent discovery could transform our understanding of bone health maintenance and pave the way for potential treatments for bone diseases, including osteoporosis. Researchers at the University of ...

Embedded within bone tissue are osteocytes, cells with tree-like projections called dendrites that are important for receiving communication from other cells. The loss of dendrites that occurs during ...

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 may be "excyted" to learn that osteocyte cultures are headed to the International Space Station this spring for the first time. With their delivery on the next SpaceX commercial resupply ...

Laboratory-grown organoids—tiny cellular structures that mimic an organ's anatomy and functions—are becoming increasingly useful in medical research. Such micro-models of the brain, lungs and other ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — University at Buffalo researchers have developed a new process for creating three-dimensional artificial tissue, an advancement that could improve experimental drug testing, the ...
