In an advance for treating male infertility, researchers transplanted a patient with his own sperm-forming stem cells that were collected from testicular tissue when he was a child.

Here’s how Tandon, a 35-year-old biomedical and electrical engineer, sees it working: A doctor uses a CT scanner to image the damaged section of bone and takes a small sample of fatty tissue.

Bone regeneration continues to be a critical challenge in tissue engineering, with unpredictable outcomes often hindering ...

Bone marrow is spongy tissue and fluid that is inside your bones. It makes your blood cells. Depending on your cancer type, this test can also check how well your treatment is working. A doctor or ...

Titanium micro-particles in the oral mucosa around dental implants are common. This is shown in a new study which also identified 14 genes that may be affected by these particles.

But many current hydrogel systems struggle with two major problems. First, they don't stick well to bone tissue under wet conditions. Second, they don't help bones grow back strongly on their own.

This living tissue contains an outer layer of dense material (cortical bone) surrounding a more porous inner structure (trabecular or cancellous bone). Within these structures, specialized cells ...

The inflammatory process is complex and the resulting destruction of supporting bone in peri-implantitis may lead to loss of the implant. "We observed that tissue samples with higher ...

Titanium micro-particles in the oral mucosa around dental implants are common. This is shown in a new study from the University of Gothenburg, which also identified 14 genes that may be affected by ...
