A newly discovered pair of stem cell lineages drives the formation of both tooth roots and the bone that anchors them. Understanding how these cells switch roles could pave the way for regenerating ...

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 ...

Spotting the signs: Fractures can mimic sprains early on, but proper diagnosis is key to avoid long-term issues like chronic pain or arthritis. Healing takes time: Bone repair moves through ...

A recent mouse model based study suggests that blocking TGF-β may improve osteoporosis treatment by helping quiescent osteoblasts in inactive bone surfaces return to an active state. Using spatial ...

Osteopenia causes reduced bone density without symptoms, driven by aging, hormones, and lifestyle factors. Early detection ...

Osteoporosis is a health condition that can really sneak up on you. Its early stages typically don’t cause any symptoms; it ...
