Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving ...

Hypertrophic chondrocytes are deeply involved in the growth of mammalian bones. Researchers find that these cells transform ...

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 ...

Researchers from the University of Leipzig and Shandong University have recognized GPR133, a receptor in bone-forming cells, as significant for bone strength. In mouse studies, activating GPR133 with ...

It has long been established through astronaut research that those who spend extended periods in space experience bone loss, resulting in lower bone density upon returning to Earth. A new study has ...
