A recent study points to a key bone-strengthening mechanism at work in the body, which could be targeted to treat the ...

Previously, we showed that human osteoblasts expressing the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene exhibited specific survival advantages – the result of breaching the replicative ...

Researchers from the University of Leipzig and Shandong University have recognized GPR133, a receptor in bone-forming cells, ...

Estrogen plays an important role in keeping bones healthy. Now, researchers investigated how membrane-initiated estrogen receptor alpha (mERα) signaling in specific cell types of female mice affects ...

Bone homeostasis is regulated by communication between bone-forming mature osteoblasts (mOB) and bone-resorptive mature osteoclasts (mOC). However, the interaction between them in vivo remains unclear ...

Osteoporosis is the primary cause of bone fractures in the elderly, reflecting an imbalance between osteoclasts, bone-degrading cells, and osteoblasts, bone-building cells. Teriparatide is the only ...
