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 ...

Full view of how bones and joints form in the first trimester uncovers cells and pathways that could help diagnose and treat skeletal conditions in the future. The first 'blueprint' of human skeletal ...

Growth plates are areas of cartilage found at the ends of long bones. They play a role in the bone growth of children and teens. An injury to a growth plate can affect the development of a bone. While ...

In a recent study, Associate Professor Makoto Ikeya (Department of Clinical Application) and his team of researchers successfully established a method to generate jawbone-like organoids (mini-organs) ...

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.

Bone sarcomas are rare diseases in which cancerous cells form in the bone. These types of cancers are seen most often in children and young adults. Here are some of the bone sarcomas we diagnose and ...

Some kinds of bone cancer can develop in a person’s ribs. However, these bone cancer types are extremely rare. Cancer that forms in a person’s bones is called primary bone cancer (PBC). Another name ...

Stem cells form the backbone of many cell-based therapies due to their unique properties, including the ability to self-renew and differentiate to many cell types. Multiple cell therapies deliver ...

Osteoarthritis develops when the cartilage that covers the ends of your bones breaks down. This causes the ends of the bones to rub against each other, leading to symptoms such as pain, stiffness, and ...
