Throughout our lives, our bones are continuously remodeled to maintain strength, repair injuries and adapt to new stresses. Bone dynamics depend on two associated cell types: osteoblasts, which are ...

Losing a limb or an organ is life-altering for most creatures, but not for all. Some animals have evolved regeneration skills that go far beyond healing scrapes or broken bones. These species can ...

Researchers have shed new light on how tissues in the body are repaired following the damage and premature death of tissue cells. Their study in fruit flies, which first appeared in eLife as a ...
