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 ...

A recent mouse model based study suggests that blocking TGF-β may improve osteoporosis treatment by helping quiescent ...

Endothelial-to-Osteoblast Conversion (EC-to-OSB) regulates bone formation and homeostasis via the Kindlin-2/Piezo1/TGFβ/Runx2 axis. Reduced Kindlin-2 in endothelial ...

“[...] chlorogenic acid appears to be a promising candidate for the management of osteoporosis.” Osteoporosis is a common bone disease in aging populations ...

A recent mouse model based study suggests that blocking TGF-β may improve osteoporosis treatment by helping quiescent ...

In our bones, specialized cells called osteoblasts are responsible for building up bone substance. A team of researchers has now identified an enzyme that controls the activity of osteoblasts. An ...

Epigenetic alterations in peripheral blood cell DNA and implications for breast cancer detection, prognosis, and treatment. Background: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used for the treatment in bone ...

New research has identified how bone cells subdue cancer cells that have reached the bone so that the cancer cells remain dormant for decades. The finding may help researchers develop new treatments ...

The relationship between thyroid disease and osteoporosis is complex. Hyperthyroidism, which causes excess levels of thyroid hormone, can increase the rate of bone loss. Thyroid hormones play a ...

Osteoporosis is often called the “silent disease” because you start to have bone loss before you have symptoms. How to ...
