Bone is continuously renewed through a process known as bone remodeling, in which osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) build new ...

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions resulted ...

SALT LAKE CITY – Once breast cancer spreads through the body, it can degrade a patient's healthy bones, causing numerous problems. Scientists at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of ...

A team of researchers led by Osaka University find an overlap in the mechanism of hair color determination and bone resorption, which is associated with bone related diseases like osteoporosis Rab32 ...

Our bone marrow the fatty, jelly-like substance inside our bones is an unseen powerhouse quietly producing 500 billion new blood cells every day. That process is driven by hematopoietic stem cells ...

Medical researchers have developed a way to use 3D printers to help create new bone mass. Using "bone-bridges", surgeons can implant a printed piece into a patient, which allows new bone to grow ...

Scientists' discovery of a molecular "switch" that activates an energy-burning pathway in mice has the potential to lead to ...

An illustration of bone and bone marrow development. During the process, osteoclasts (cells in blue) expand the marrow cavity by absorbing and removing unnecessary bone. In this study, the team found ...

Around 40% of adults worldwide are affected by osteopenia: a loss of bone mineral density. This condition is extremely common, particularly in postmenopausal women and elderly adults. It's estimated ...

Estrogen plays a protective role in bone health. When estrogen levels decrease, such as after menopause, your risk of osteoporosis and bone loss rises. There are steps you can take to reduce your risk ...
