Lithium batteries sit at the heart of electric cars, smartphones, grid storage and even military hardware, yet the way they quietly crack apart inside has remained stubbornly hard to see. Now ...

Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

When bones break and there is extreme tissue loss—such as after a car accident or a battlefield injury—current treatments don't often lead to effective healing. But certain stem cells from skeletal ...

Japanese researchers are testing a surprising, minimally invasive way to repair spine fractures. A team at Osaka Metropolitan University found that stem cells from fat tissue can repair breaks similar ...

Our fat tissue could be used to make our bones regrow, with scientists successfully using adipose cells to repair spinal compression fractures. It could change how breaks are treated and improve bone ...

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 ...
