Despite the tremendous efforts of researchers studying bone remodeling for more than 50 years, the intrinsic spatial, biomolecular, and mechanotransduction complexities in bone remodeling continue to ...
Each year, doctors treat more than 6 million bone fractures in the United States. And while it takes only a few seconds for a ...
Bone remodeling is a lifelong process that gives rise to a mature, dynamic bone structure via a balance between bone formation by osteoblasts and resorption by osteoclasts. These opposite processes ...
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 ...
Osteoporosis is a common disorder, especially in the elderly, characterized by bone loss and increased fracture risk. Treatments target abnormal osteoclast activity but face adherence issues. The ...
A recent study identifies Neural EGFL-like 2 (NELL2), a secreted protein, as a key regulator of bone homeostasis, offering potential therapeutic applications for osteoporosis. NELL2 promotes ...
