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 ...

In the elderly, a multitude of factors contribute to diminished bone regeneration capabilities, including a reduction in the self-renewal and differentiation abilities of mesenchymal stem cells, an ...

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

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 ...

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

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 ...

Skeletal conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis affect millions worldwide, often causing chronic pain and disability. These disorders stem from ...

Lab tests show that bioactive glasses combined with gallium oxide have a 99% success rate in eliminating bone cancer cells and can even regenerate diseased bone. The corresponding study was published ...

Every step you take depends on a structure most people rarely think about. The pelvis sits at the center of the body and ...

SSCs are heterogeneous in nature, contributing to the development of long bones, craniofacial structures, and the spine. These SSCs have important functions in a variety of physiological and ...
