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 ...

SSCs are heterogeneous in nature, contributing to the development of long bones, craniofacial structures, and the spine. These SSCs have important functions in a variety of physiological and ...

Scientists uncovered how the protein Piezo1 translates physical activity into stronger bones, offering a path to ...

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 ...

Setrusumab is a monoclonal antibody that inhibits sclerostin, a protein that negatively regulates bone development, allowing for new bone formation.

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 ...

A newly discovered receptor switch that boosts bone growth could transform how we treat osteoporosis, by stimulating the body’s own bone-building machinery using a targeted drug and even mechanical ...

Strong bones need more than workouts; they need less sitting. A sweeping review shows that across all ages, even light daily activity protects bone health, while too much sedentary time quietly raises ...

Knowing when to book an appointment with a pediatric orthopedist instead of a pediatrician can help a child get faster ...
