Bone is continuously renewed through a process known as bone remodeling, in which osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) build new ...

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 ...

Activating the GPR133 receptor with a small molecule can rebuild bone from within, offering a new direction for osteoporosis ...

Rather than completely blocking all downstream signals, the peptide developed in this study focuses on inhibiting the activation of p38-MAPK. This is enough to downregulate the development of mature ...

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 ...

Blood cancers such as leukemia are caused by genetic changes in the blood-forming stem cells of the bone marrow. Scientists at the University Medical Center Mainz have now shown how chronic ...

Growth plates are areas of cartilage found at the ends of long bones. They play a role in the bone growth of children and teens. An injury to a growth plate can affect the development of a bone. While ...
