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

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 ...

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 ...
