H umans are the only primates that walk on two legs. Scientists believe that their uniquely shaped pelvis, the bones that ...

A new study delves into the development of the ilium, the largest bone in the pelvis, and the genes that underpin its ...

The pelvis is often called the keystone of upright locomotion. More than any other part of our lower body, it has been ...

This review discusses the role of skeletal stem cells (SSCs) in bone development, homeostasis, and disease. Recent advancements have identified that SSCs are not a uniform population; rather, they ...

Living cells contain a world of complex parts, which are constantly in motion. Many functions of these parts are still not ...

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 ...

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 we age, our bones lose some of their density and strength due to a disrupted balance between bone breakdown and rebuilding in osteoporosis.

Protein blocking bone development could hold clues for future osteoporosis treatment Date: October 13, 2024 Source: University of Birmingham Summary: Scientists have identified a protein that ...
