Bone cells live in bone tissue in the body. But the cells in these images are carrying out their bone-building duties outside the body—inside a 3D printable device, called a bioreactor, created by FIU ...

Researchers have linked 3D-printed collagen scaffolds, scaled-up stem cell expansion, and perfusion bioreactor cultivation to ...

The findings focus on separate strategies, ranging from a mechanical cell receptor to a blood-based gel and a brain hormone.

Eggshells, which are primarily composed of a form of calcium called calcium carbonate, are used in a wide range of applications – from a supplement in chicken feed to natural pest control for the ...

In this new series, we take an up-close look at FIU research through a collection of awe-inspiring images spotlighting our scientists' fieldwork and latest discoveries. Bone cells live in bone tissue ...

TUCSON, Ariz. — Researchers at the University of Arizona believe they've found a new way to re-grow broken bones. With a recent $2.2 million grant from the Department of Defense, they hope to use the ...

A tiny fleet of gold nanorobots is teaching stem cells how to become bone. At the same time, another lab is using gentle pulses of pressure to coax single cells into building mineral and collagen.

For patients suffering from traumatic injuries that leave behind "volumetric" gaps—where significant bone and blood vessels are lost—the clock is always ticking. Without a nearby blood supply, cells ...
