Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

While research has uncovered many details about how blood cells function within bone marrow, the work of other cells existing in that space remained a relative mystery. Now, researchers from the ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

A new study has shed light on a previously poorly understood aspect of breast cancer recurrence: how cancer cells survive in bone marrow despite targeted therapies. A study from researchers at the ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

A bone marrow biopsy is a medical procedure used to collect a small sample of bone marrow, which is the soft, spongy tissue inside your bones where blood cells are made. This test helps a physician ...

Immature ganulocytes, also called myeloblasts, are a type of young white blood cell. Unusual amounts of myeloblasts usually occur due to problems with bone marrow, such as certain types of blood ...

A bone marrow transplant, or stem cell transplant, places blood stem cells back into the body. The transplant replaces cells that cancer or treatments have destroyed. People may have a bone marrow ...

After returning to Earth, these cells from the AVATAR experiment will reveal how space radiation and microgravity affect the human body.
