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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

After serious injuries, burns, fractures, or major surgeries, the body normally repairs damaged tissues and restores movement ...

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 ...

On Dec 19, 2025, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a major milestone by qualifying total hip bone mineral density (BMD), assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, as a surrogate ...

Bone fractures usually heal efficiently, but in some patients this process fails, causing nonunion. A recent study identifies ...

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 ...

And they’re not just calcium and vitamin D.

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 ...
