Importantly, the process developed for this study allowed the team to analyze blood cell development in multiple parts of the skeleton. Next steps Looking ahead, Lucas says much more research will be ...

Israeli and Japanese researchers report in Nature that reduced cartilage cushioning molecules, an evolutionary trade-off tied ...

Imagine being able to count the different types of blood cells being formed inside the tiny bones of a mouse and pinpointing the strings and clusters of cells within the bone marrow that are ...

But a new study of the most complete skeleton of the species known to exist has answered many questions about the enigmatic critter—first described in 1883 by famed paleontologist Edward Drinker ...

In the past decade, a burst of research has debunked the unflattering reputation 19th-century scientists pinned on Neanderthals. We now know that they were creative, caring, and cognitively similar to ...

New research has revealed how mechanical forces caused by fetal movements drive skeletal development in the embryo. The study was published and featured in the journal Science Advances. Its findings ...

New international study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone structures through proteins present in the bone matrix. A new international study sheds light on ...

In mice, blood cell production occurs via strings and clusters of cells within the bone marrow that are responsible for producing specific blood cell types, according to a far-reaching study led by ...
