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 ...

If you have ever broken a bone, you quickly learn two things: it hurts a lot, and bones are living tissue that takes time to heal, but they do heal. A fractured femur, for instance, may take six ...

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 ...

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 ...

A pair of proteins could contribute to the development of healthy, strong bones by directing early cell movement and blood vessel generation. A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as ...

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 ...

Constructed image from spatial transcriptomics slides measuring gene expression in tissues. This shows the developing upper limb, including the developing hand and digits. Each spot represents a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Primary types of bone cancer include osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, and chordoma. Secondary bone cancer develops as a result of cancer that has spread from another area of the body. Doctors broadly ...
