Endothelial-to-Osteoblast Conversion (EC-to-OSB) regulates bone formation and homeostasis via the Kindlin-2/Piezo1/TGFβ/Runx2 axis. Reduced Kindlin-2 in endothelial ...

Throughout our lives, our bones are continuously remodeled to maintain strength, repair injuries and adapt to new stresses. Bone dynamics depend on two associated cell types: osteoblasts, which are ...

Scientists develop a new material that protects stem cells and helps repair facial bone damage by reducing harmful stress and inflammation in the body. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Maxillofacial bone defects ...

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 ...

One of the best-documented pathophysiological changes associated with microgravity and the spaceflight environment is bone loss. The reduction in bone mass and its effect following reentry could ...

When you fracture a bone, the injury sets off a very intricate and lengthy healing process. Bones are tough, but they’re not able to heal from a fracture in a day, a week, or even a month. It takes ...
