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

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

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone ...

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 ...

Osteoporosis, a silent skeletal disorder, poses a growing public health concern due to aging populations and sedentary ...

At the time, we simply accepted this as 'old age'. Today, we understand that one of the major culprits behind this dramatic ...
