Hypertrophic chondrocytes are deeply involved in the growth of mammalian bones. Researchers find that these cells transform ...

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.

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 ...

Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving ...

Humans are the only primates that walk on two legs. Scientists believe that their uniquely shaped pelvis, the bones that connect the spine to the legs, makes this possible. However, researchers didn’t ...

RESEARCHERS have replicated the body’s blood-producing system by creating a bone marrow model made entirely from reprogrammed human cells.

Learn about Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CCD), a rare genetic disorder affecting bone and dental development, highlighted by ...

In a world where an aging population faces increasing health challenges, a silent epidemic is quietly eroding the quality of life for millions. Osteoporosis affects one in three women and one in five ...
