A big study looked at over 11, 000 plant types in nearly 70, 000 spots across the country. It found that foreign plants usu
The immune system and man-made materials work together in a big way to help heal broken bones. Calcium phosphate (CaP) materials, like hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate, are often used as bone replacements. They are good at helping new bone grow, but scientists are still figuring out how to

Scientists have been digging into transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) because they behave differently when they're super thin. Specifically, molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) changes its electronic properties depending on how many layers it has. In single layers, the electrons like to hang out at the
Bones healing is a complex process. It involves many cells and signals. Macrophages, a type of immune cell, play a big role. They help other cells, called mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs), to grow and change. This process is not just about chemicals. It also depends on physical forces, like pressure
In the world of leukemia treatment, genetics are playing an increasingly important role. A recent study looked at how genetic testing can help predict outcomes for young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).
