Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype ...

Obesity is widely known for increasing the risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but its damaging effects on the skeleton are often overlooked. Excess body fat can disrupt bone metabolism, ...

This textbook describes the biomechanics of bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It is rigorous in its approach to the mechanical properties of the skeleton yet it does not neglect the biological ...

Researchers show that pharmacological activation of hypoxia signaling improves metabolism, limits fat accumulation, and ...

Skeletal stem cells form part of the bone marrow stroma, where they contribute to bone growth, bone modeling, and bone remodeling during life. In addition to this, they help produce adipocytes the ...

Whether you are a competitive athlete or an older adult, strong bones are essential—not only for movement, but also for overall health. Now, a new study has shed new light on how our bones are ...

As part of our natural bone development, special cells on the surface break down old bone tissue and then build it back up again. When changes occur to this cycle and throw things off balance, ...

The power of human bone to heal itself is limited. Its ability to repair fractures fades with age, and adult cartilage is almost impossible to renew. But after a decade of research, Stanford ...

Newsweek discussed the study with a doctor, who said that "bone loss can occur relatively quickly during rapid weight loss." ...

Researchers found that people taking GLP-1 medications faced a significantly higher risk of skeletal disorders.

Smoking does more than damage lungs. Orthopaedic expert warns that it can slow bone healing, raise the risk of fractures and complicate recovery after surgeries like knee and hip replacements. No ...
