In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled ...

Scientists uncovered how the protein Piezo1 translates physical activity into stronger bones, offering a path to exercise-mimicking therapies. Scientists from the Department of Medicine, School of ...

A study conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions reveals the molecular events leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V, a form of brittle bone disease ...

A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as conductors of bone development in the womb and could provide insight into genetic diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, known commonly as ...

SSCs are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques like single-cell ...

Eating enough protein from both animal and plant sources, combined with eating enough calcium and getting enough exercise, can keep your bones healthy.

This is a rare peek at how cartilage transforms into bone. In this image, you can see cartilage (in purple and white), blood vessels and cells (in yellow), and other specialized cells that create ...

Fact: Babies are way smaller than adults. So it stands to reason, then, that they probably have fewer bones. Incorrect! Humans are born with far more bones than they'll end up having in adulthood. Why ...

Intermuscular bones (IBs) are slender ossified segments embedded within the myosepta of lower teleost fishes. Formed through a process of intramembranous ossification, these structures play a dual ...
