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.

A newly discovered pair of stem cell lineages drives the formation of both tooth roots and the bone that anchors them. Understanding how these cells switch roles could pave the way for regenerating ...

Mechanisms governing the antagonistic bone-promoting and bone-resorbing effects of parathyroid hormone induction are unclear. New study by researchers from Tokyo University of Science reveals a novel ...

Osteoporosis - weakening of the bones with age - affects millions worldwide, and this figure is increasing annually as the global population ages. It is associated with the aging, or 'senescence', of ...
