Scientists have identified a protein that blocks the activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) by stopping them from maturing during the journey to sites of bone formation. Endothelial cell's job ...

Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques ...

For children born with cleft lip and palate, repairing gaps in the jawbone often means waiting until they are 10 to 12 years old before undergoing invasive bone graft surgery. University of Sydney ...

In the elderly, a multitude of factors contribute to diminished bone regeneration capabilities, including a reduction in the self-renewal and differentiation abilities of mesenchymal stem cells, an ...

Bone regeneration is a complex process, and existing methods to aid regeneration including transplants and growth factor transmissions face limitations such as the high cost. But recently, a ...

A pair of proteins could contribute to the development of healthy, strong bones by directing early cell movement and blood vessel generation. A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as ...

The “forever chemicals” known as PFAS are increasingly known to potentially pose many threats, the latest of which may be child bone health, according to a new study. Perfluoroalkyl and ...

Intermuscular bones (IBs) in teleost fish are slender bony rods embedded within the myosepta and formed via intramembranous ossification from tendon progenitors. Ubiquitous in basal teleosts and ...
