Bone and skeletal injuries cause extensive and long-term functional impairments worldwide. In a new study, researchers at ...

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 ...

Scientists are closing in on a goal that once sounded like science fiction: triggering the benefits of a workout inside bone ...

Osteocytes, the most abundant cells in bone tissue, have long been underestimated in their functional capacity. Traditionally viewed as passive entities, recent research has illuminated their pivotal ...

What keeps bones able to remodel themselves and stay healthy? A team has discovered clues to the key function of non-collagen protein compounds and how they help bone cells react to external load. The ...

Our fat tissue could be used to make our bones regrow, with scientists successfully using adipose cells to repair spinal compression fractures. It could change how breaks are treated and improve bone ...

Overall, the study shows that it is possible to create safe, cell-free tissue structures that effectively help the body build new ...

"LCAT mediates bone metabolism by maintaining appropriate intracellular cholesterol levels and improves liver function by reversing cholesterol transport from bone tissues to the liver," said Dr. Lu ...

Eggshells, which are primarily composed of a form of calcium called calcium carbonate, are used in a wide range of applications – from a supplement in chicken feed to natural pest control for the ...

Around 500 million years ago, early vertebrates in the seas became fish, adopting an inner skeleton and a flexible spine based on a nanocmposite of fibers and mineral, known as bone material. This ...
