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 ...

Bone is continuously renewed through a process known as bone remodeling, in which osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) build new ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers tracked nearly 10,000 older women over a decade and uncovered a surprising divide between the two popular morning beverages. A 10-year study of nearly 10,000 women ages 65 and older found ...

Many people begin to think about bone health only after a fracture, but experts emphasize that there are simple daily habits ...

Scientists at McGill University have identified a molecular mechanism that may eventually help researchers develop new treatments for certain bone disorders. The study, published in Nature, focuses on ...

Osteoporosis is no longer just an "old woman's disease"; women in their late 30s and 40s now experience early signs of ...
