As we age, the health of our bones becomes increasingly important. Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weakened bones, affects millions, leading to fractures and reduced quality of life. Among ...

A recent study identifies Neural EGFL-like 2 (NELL2), a secreted protein, as a key regulator of bone homeostasis, offering potential therapeutic applications for osteoporosis. NELL2 promotes ...

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 ...

Periodontitis is characterized by the loss of teeth resulting from inflammation of gums due to bacterial infections. The susceptibility to such bone loss disorders increases with age. The expression ...

The Discovery of New Members of the TNF Receptor and Ligand Families and Their Relationship to Osteoclasts and Bone Metabolism Binding of RANKL to RANK initiates a signaling cascade, which includes ...

These resorption and formation phases are linked and balanced with intermittent coupling phases. "Functional coupling between these two cell types is critical for the maintenance of proper bone ...

Researchers created a special glue gun that can 3D print a bone-like substance for fracture repair during surgery and have ...

The human skeleton rebuilds itself continuously throughout life, replacing old bone tissue with fresh, strong material in a process that typically maintains bone density until middle age. However, ...

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions ...
