Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving ...

Hypertrophic chondrocytes are deeply involved in the growth of mammalian bones. Researchers find that these cells transform ...

Osteoblasts derived from MSCs are cells required for bone formation. Oxidative phosphorylation produces a lot of ATP and other products including NAD+ and ROS. These factors play important roles in ...

Osteoblasts act in a group to make bone over the course of several months. However, how osteoblasts cooperate with each other in vivo is still unknown. Now, researchers at Osaka University established ...

In our bones, specialized cells called osteoblasts are responsible for building up bone substance. A team of researchers has now identified an enzyme that controls the activity of osteoblasts. An ...

Researchers from the University of Leipzig and Shandong University have recognized GPR133, a receptor in bone-forming cells, as significant for bone strength. In mouse studies, activating GPR133 with ...

It has long been established through astronaut research that those who spend extended periods in space experience bone loss, resulting in lower bone density upon returning to Earth. A new study has ...

Bone spurs are an outgrowth of extra bone. They are usually the result of osteoarthritis or injury and can form anywhere in the body. They generally appear where bones connect and are common in joints ...
