Scientists uncovered how the protein Piezo1 translates physical activity into stronger bones, offering a path to ...

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 ...

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.

It’s common to think of your bones as solid and unchanging, but they’re composed of living tissue constantly in flux. Consider: Every year, 15% of your spine and 5% of your hips are replaced with new ...

Bone remodeling occurs in different parts of the body throughout life to maintain bone architecture balance and systemic mineral homeostasis. During this "remodeling" process, osteoclasts remove ...

The people of Singapore consume a lot of fish, and – perhaps surprisingly to some of us – a lot of frog meat. Scientists have now developed a method of converting the waste from both foods into a ...

Mechanisms governing the antagonistic bone-promoting and bone-resorbing effects of parathyroid hormone induction are unclear. New study by researchers from Tokyo University of Science reveals a novel ...
