Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype transition Animal studies have shown that some cartilage cells can transition to a ...

Around 40% of adults worldwide are affected by osteopenia: a loss of bone mineral density. This condition is extremely common ...

Activating the GPR133 receptor with a small molecule can rebuild bone from within, offering a new direction for osteoporosis ...

A recent mouse model based study suggests that blocking TGF-β may improve osteoporosis treatment by helping quiescent ...

Macrophages which have undergone metabolic reprogramming have shown potential to accelerate bone repair by synchronising bone ...

Bones are the living tissue on which the human skeleton is constructed and play a key role in enabling physical movements. The structural integrity of bones has been attributed to bone remodeling-aa ...

Osteopenia causes reduced bone density without symptoms, driven by aging, hormones, and lifestyle factors. Early detection ...

Spotting the signs: Fractures can mimic sprains early on, but proper diagnosis is key to avoid long-term issues like chronic pain or arthritis. Healing takes time: Bone repair moves through ...

A newly discovered pair of stem cell lineages drives the formation of both tooth roots and the bone that anchors them. Understanding how these cells switch roles could pave the way for regenerating ...
