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 ...

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) ...

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled ...

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 ...

Bone cancer is a rare type of cancer that occurs in the skeletal system. It typically occurs due to changes in genes that affect how cells grow. While people typically acquire these gene changes ...

In a multidisciplinary follow-up study, researchers analyzed bone health decline and the effects of nusinersen in patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) types 2 and 3. SMA is a progressive, ...
