Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes, their transformation into ...

Obesity is widely known for increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but its damaging effects on the ...

A recent discovery could transform our understanding of bone health maintenance and pave the way for potential treatments for bone diseases, including osteoporosis. Researchers at the University of ...

Researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University, as part of a scientific collaboration, proposed a one-step approach to improve ...

The GPR133 receptor is expressed by osteoblasts, the cells that make bone. The study suggests that this receptor helps those cells sense two kinds of input: mechanical strain and signals relayed by ...

A bone-like composite developed at EPFL uses naturally occurring enzymes to accelerate mineralization through an ...
