Researchers Use Soy to Improve Bone Cancer Treatment
In recent research, the slow release of soy-based chemical compounds from a 3D-printed bone-like scaffold resulted in a reduction in bone cancer cells
Bones
Malignant Cancer Diagnosed in a Dinosaur for the First Time
Originally discovered in Dinosaur Provincial Park in Alberta in 1989, the badly malformed end of the fossil was originally thought to represent a healing fracture
A Promising New Strategy to Help Broken Bones Heal Faster
To improve how broken bones heal in people with diabetes, University of Pennsylvania researchers are leading work to develop an affordable oral therapy—grown in plants
How and When Spines Changed in Mammalian Evolution
Research reveals how a combination of developmental changes and adaptive pressures in the spines of synapsids laid the groundwork for the diversity of backbones seen in mammals today
'Buildings' in Human Bone May Hold Key to Stronger 3D-Printed Lightweight Structures
The discovery of how a "beam" in human bone material handles a lifetime's worth of wear and tear could translate to better 3D-printed lightweight materials
Scientists Explore Egyptian Mummy Bones with X-Rays and Infrared Light
Researchers from Cairo University work with teams at Berkeley Lab's Advanced Light Source to study soil and bone samples dating back 4,000 years
T. Rex Used a Stiff Skull to Eat Its Prey
