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 ...

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 ...

SSCs are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques like single-cell ...

In a basic science study last year, researchers discovered that taurine, available in energy drinks and as a supplement, ...

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.

For years, clinicians have noticed that people living with major depression often show unexpectedly fragile bones. What sounded like a coincidence is now being reframed as a tightly wired “brain–bone ...

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 ...
