Experiments conducted in Brazil using laboratory rats have shown that graphene-based structures can act as a powerful ally in ...

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 ...

Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype ...

Orthodontic treatment relies on the biological response of periodontal and alveolar bone tissues to mechanical forces, which induces tooth movement through ...

A review study conducted by Brazilian researchers found growing evidence that microplastics can reach and build up in human bone tissue, potentially disrupting bone metabolism. Lab and animal studies ...

Researchers reviewed more than 60 studies and found evidence that plastic particles can reach bone tissue, disrupt cell function, and may interfere with skeletal growth. Stacey Leasca is an ...

An Osaka Metropolitan University team has used stem cells extracted from adipose, the body's fatty tissue, to treat spine fractures in rats similar to those caused by osteoporosis in humans. These ...

Microplastics are back in the scientific headlines, this time for their potential adverse effects on your bones. In June 2025, a Brazil-led research team published the results of their review study ...

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 ...

The From Labs to Lives Blog connects everyday topics with UC Davis research. Each post is reviewed by our experts, ensuring you always get useful information you can trust. Because we can’t see them, ...
