Bone dynamics depend on two associated cell types: osteoblasts, which are responsible for bone formation, and osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone resorption. Until now, it has not been ...

Researchers have identified Type R capillaries’ importance in bone remodelling in mature and ageing bones. This shows that ...

“This study is important because it looks at the types of cells that regenerate broken bones ... the team found upregulation of bone formation genes which might prime the SSPC for becoming osteoblasts ...

“Thus, Type R capillaries are critical in moderating the balance between bone formation and resorption,” says Mohanakrishnan. The researchers thus found these capillaries to be the third unique and ...

BoXer incorporates the anti-myeloma drug bortezomib, an agent known to stimulate net bone formation while effectively killing tumor cells. BoXer releases this 'payload' locally at the site of bone ...

A bone sarcoma is a kind of tumor—a growth of abnormal cells in the bones. When the tumor grows out of control and destroys nearby tissue or spreads to other parts of the body, it's called malignant.

Bone regeneration research has taken a significant leap forward with the discovery of a crucial mechanism that could transform treatments for bone ...
