Skeletal stem cells form part of the bone marrow stroma, where they contribute to bone growth, bone modeling, and bone remodeling during life. In addition to this, they help produce adipocytes the ...

Interdisciplinary approaches in developmental biology have revealed how cells build the embryonic bones of the skull vault ...

The best way to prevent a fracture is to stop bones from reaching the point where they are prone to breaking, but understanding the process of how bones form and mature has been challenging. Now ...

PHILADELPHIA –The accepted dogma has been that bone-forming cells, derived from the body's connective tissue, are the only cells able to form the skeleton. However, new research shows that specialized ...

The first "blueprint" of human skeletal development reveals how the skeleton forms, shedding light on the process of arthritis, and highlighting cells involved in conditions that affect skull and bone ...

Scientists from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, and elsewhere have been able to pinpoint cells in mouse bone marrow that give rise to specific types of ...

A new paper in Science Advances describes for the first time how minerals come together at the molecular level to form bones and other hard tissues, like teeth and enamel. The University of Illinois ...

Calcium is indispensable for bone growth, and vitamin D is needed to maintain proper amounts of calcium in the body. But as people age, they lose bone mass, often despite taking supplements of calcium ...

After 30s, bone breakdown slowly begins to outpace formation and increases the risk of fracture and osteoporosis. However, women who adopt bone-care habits have shown slow bone loss and maintain ...
