Pregnancies do not weaken a woman's skeleton. Breastfeeding, however, can reduce bone density considerably. These are ...

A study conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions reveals the molecular events leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V, a form of brittle bone disease ...

Karolinska Development AB ( ($SE:KDEV) ) has shared an announcement. Karolinska Development’s portfolio company, BOOST Pharma, has announced ...

SSCs are heterogeneous in nature, contributing to the development of long bones, craniofacial structures, and the spine. These SSCs have important functions in a variety of physiological and ...

A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as conductors of bone development in the womb and could provide insight into genetic diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, known commonly as ...

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.

Bent bone dysplasia (BBD) is a perinatal-lethal skeletal disorder caused by pathogenic FGFR2 mutations that disrupt bone ...

Researchers reviewed more than 60 studies and found evidence that plastic particles can reach bone tissue, disrupt cell function, and may interfere with skeletal growth.

Strong bones need more than workouts; they need less sitting. A sweeping review shows that across all ages, even light daily activity protects bone health, while too much sedentary time quietly raises ...

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 ...

Intermuscular bones (IBs) are slender ossified segments embedded within the myosepta of lower teleost fishes. Formed through a process of intramembranous ossification, these structures play a dual ...
