Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques ...

Scientists have identified a protein that blocks the activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) by stopping them from maturing during the journey to sites of bone formation. Endothelial cell's job ...

Long-term antibiotic use to treat adolescent acne disrupts the gut microbiome and impairs bone maturation. The corresponding study was published in JCI Insight by researchers from the Medical ...

In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered that these skeletal cells do not just ...

The "forever chemicals" known as PFAS are increasingly known to potentially pose many threats, the latest of which may be child bone health, according to a new study. Perfluoroalkyl and ...

Endochondral bone development is the principal mechanism by which the vertebrate skeleton forms, involving the replacement of a transient cartilage template with mineralised bone. Mesenchymal cells ...

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 ...
