One of the most stubborn puzzles in cancer immunotherapy may finally be yielding to a closer look at the scaffolding that ...

Bone repair depends on skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs) moving to injured areas and developing into bone-forming cells, but how these cells respond to their surroundings remains unclear. A study ...

New study reveals how collagen receptors beta1 integrin and DDR2 cooperate to control skeletal progenitor cells for enhanced bone regeneration and healing.

Researchers at the University of Oulu have made a discovery in breast cancer research. They demonstrated that the extracellular matrix protein collagen XVIII significantly promotes breast cancer ...

During bone healing, skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs), which can multiply and develop into bone-forming cells, move to the injury site and help build new bone. A critical aspect of this process is how ...

Each year, about 2.2 million bone-grafting procedures are performed worldwide, the gold standard of care being autografting, which uses the patient's own bone for tooth implantation and to repair and ...

Researchers from KU Leuven presented novel urokinase plasminogen activator receptor-associated protein (uPARAP)-targeted antibody-drug conjugates (ADC), ADCE-017 and ADCE-202, being developed for the ...

A major review of nearly 8,000 participants found that collagen supplements can improve skin health and ease osteoarthritis symptoms, especially when taken consistently over longer periods.
