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 ...

What is a biological 'trait'? / Kenneth Weiss -- The contribution of angiogenesis to variation in bone development and evolution / Christopher J. Percival [and 6 others] -- Association of the ...

With the aging of the population, the incidence of osteoporosis (OP) is on the rise, but the ecology of immune cell subpopulations in OP is poorly understood. Therefore, identifying cell ...

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 ...

Stem cells are defined by their self-renewal and multilineage differentiation capacities. Postnatally, multiple types of lineage-restricted stem cells have been defined in different tissues and organs ...

The first 'blueprint' of human skeletal development reveals how the skeleton forms, shedding light on the process of arthritis, and highlighting cells involved in conditions that affect skull and bone ...

Rather than completely blocking all downstream signals, the peptide developed in this study focuses on inhibiting the activation of p38-MAPK. This is enough to downregulate the development of mature ...

Osteopenia is a common but often overlooked condition that causes bones to become less dense and more fragile. Because it ...

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, a new study has found.
