A multidisciplinary research team at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center has discovered a new way to kill a tumor by disrupting its acidic "microenvironment" without harming normal tissue.
National University of Singapore (NUS) physicists have developed a method of converting fish scale waste into a versatile material with dual functionalities—encryption of sensitive information and acting as a bio-adsorbent ...
NASA has big plans for its Artemis program—to return Americans to the moon for the first time since 1972 and establish a lunar base for humans by the end of the decade.
One of the most prominent evils of rapid industrialization has been the emission of toxic pollutants into the surrounding biosphere, with often disastrous consequences for human beings. Several industrial processes, such ...
Sharks, found in deep and shallow waters throughout the oceans, are some of the oldest living creatures on planet Earth. Shark skeletons, made of rubbery tissue called cartilage, have fascinated scientists for eons. Sharks ...
Enlisting an army of plant viruses to their cause, materials researchers at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have identified a small biomolecule that binds specifically to one of the key crystal structures ...
Advances in materials science and production technology have enabled bone tissue engineering (BTE) strategies that generate complex scaffolds with controlled architecture for bone repair. The novel biomaterials can be further ...
Mineralization is mediated by osteoblasts, which secrete mineral precursors through matrix vesicles (MVs) as a fundamental process in vertebrates. The vesicles are calcium and phosphate rich, containing organic materials ...
A joint team of paleontologists has now for the first time analyzed bone structures in 400 million-year-old fossils of marine life at unprecedentedly high resolution and in 3D. To be able to view these structures, tomography ...
Most of us don't think about our teeth and bones until one aches or breaks. A team of engineers at Washington University in St. Louis looked deep within collagen fibers to see how the body forms new bone and teeth, seeking ...
