Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype transition Animal studies have shown that some cartilage cells can transition to a ...

Bones are the living tissue on which the human skeleton is constructed and play a key role in enabling physical movements. The structural integrity of bones has been attributed to bone remodeling-aa ...

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 ...

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

A new study published in Biomaterials Advances suggests that keratin-based membranes could offer a promising new option for guided bone regeneration, a technique commonly used to ...

Researchers found a bone switch that could stop osteoporosis before a fracture happens. Here are the biggest questions ...

Bone spurs are smooth bony projections that form along joint edges, often due to ageing, osteoarthritis, injury, or ...
