Scientists uncovered how the protein Piezo1 translates physical activity into stronger bones, offering a path to exercise-mimicking therapies. Scientists from the Department of Medicine, School of ...

Researchers have discovered a biological switch that explains why movement keeps bones strong. The protein senses physical ...

A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as conductors of bone development in the womb and could provide insight into genetic diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, known commonly as ...

A study conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions reveals the molecular events leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V, a form of brittle bone disease ...

In a basic science study last year, researchers discovered that taurine, available in energy drinks and as a supplement, ...

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled ...

SSCs are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques like single-cell ...

Eating enough protein from both animal and plant sources, combined with eating enough calcium and getting enough exercise, can keep your bones healthy.

Strong bones need more than workouts; they need less sitting. A sweeping review shows that across all ages, even light daily activity protects bone health, while too much sedentary time quietly raises ...

This is a rare peek at how cartilage transforms into bone. In this image, you can see cartilage (in purple and white), blood vessels and cells (in yellow), and other specialized cells that create ...

Fact: Babies are way smaller than adults. So it stands to reason, then, that they probably have fewer bones. Incorrect! Humans are born with far more bones than they'll end up having in adulthood. Why ...
