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 ...

Notch signalling is a highly conserved cell-to-cell communication pathway that orchestrates cell fate determination, proliferation and differentiation within the skeletal system. Activation occurs ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, a new study has found.

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 ...

Skeletal conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis affect millions worldwide, often causing chronic pain and disability. These disorders stem from ...

Long-term antibiotic use to treat adolescent acne disrupts the gut microbiome and impairs bone maturation. The corresponding study was published in JCI Insight by researchers from the Medical ...

(CNN) — 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 ...
