Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques ...

Neandertal babies were born similar in size to modern human newborns. Their bones, however, matured much more rapidly in the ...

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.

In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered that these skeletal cells do not just ...

Long-term antibiotic use to treat adolescent acne disrupts the gut microbiome and impairs bone maturation. The corresponding study was published in JCI Insight by researchers from the Medical ...

A pair of proteins could contribute to the development of healthy, strong bones by directing early cell movement and blood vessel generation. A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as ...

In a global breakthrough published in Nature Genetics, researchers have successfully mapped the cells and genes that regulate ...

For decades, losing a permanent tooth has been considered irreversible. Once a tooth was gone, the only solutions were ...
