Scientists are reporting the first direct evidence that a subtle change in the physical properties of a tissue can affect its function. The finding has immediate implications for understanding several ...

Bones are the living tissue on which the human skeleton is constructed and play a key role in enabling physical movements. The structural integrity of bones has been attributed to bone remodeling—a ...

A variety of foods, including prunes, leafy greens, seeds, and more, provide essential nutrients beyond calcium that support ...

Bone health relies on a balance between osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (recyclers). Peak bone mass occurs in early adulthood; deficiencies during this window amplify fracture risks later in ...

An excellent new tool that uses a technology called microindentation can measure the health of bone tissue directly and safely. Bone fractures are the bane of people with unhealthy or fragile bones.

Scientists from Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago and Northwestern University report they have succeeded in regenerating fully ...

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.

New Griffith University research investigated how the Nuralyte device, similar in size to an electric toothbrush, enhanced mitochondrial respiration and stimulated gene expression in bone-forming stem ...
