New research released last week suggests that sex matters when it comes to surgery. Researchers examined the sex of the surgeon and the sex of the patient in over a million surgeries and found that female patients with male doctors fared slightly worse than any other combination. The reason for the disparity likely comes down to communication and relationship-building.

SMART breakthrough offers a promising pathway toward improved manufacturing of high-quality cells for regenerative therapies to treat joint diseases.

The idea is to place a patient's cells onto a supporting material and grow them in the right conditions so they can form tissues such as bone, muscle, or cartilage.

Cartilage damage has long been a challenge in regenerative medicine research, due to the avascular nature of cartilage tissue and its intrinsically limited reparative capacity.

A simple injection that blocks an age-linked protein regrows knee cartilage in older mice and prevents arthritis after knee damage.

Higher local recurrence growth rates and high-grade tumors were linked to increased disease-specific death after resection.

Although EWS can arise in any part of the body, it most commonly involves the long bones of the limbs and the pelvis.

Bone tumors refer to neoplastic lesions that occur in the bones and their associated tissues, such as blood vessels, nerves, and bone marrow.

Investigators at the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center are testing a promising new treatment strategy that can both detect and attack cancer at the same time.

Pediatric bone cancer treatment is witnessing a significant paradigm shift.

An oral combination treatment may prevent the progression of advanced leiomyosarcoma, one of the most common subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma, according to a recent study published in The Lancet Oncology.
