Seoul National University College of Engineering (SNU Engineering) announced that a joint research team led by Prof. Sunghoon ...

Because osteoporosis develops when that balance shifts in the wrong direction, the finding gives researchers a promising new target for future drugs. “If this receptor is impaired by genetic changes, ...

While aging is known to weaken bone repair, the underlying causes remain unclear. Researchers have now discovered that mitochondrial DNA structures called G-quadruplex accumulate in periosteal stem ...

A recent study identifies Neural EGFL-like 2 (NELL2), a secreted protein, as a key regulator of bone homeostasis, offering potential therapeutic applications for osteoporosis. NELL2 promotes ...

Researchers recently developed a bone marrow model to study how the body generates cells. Interestingly, this model is the first of its kind to be developed entirely from human cells. Not only can ...

Our body's "blood factory" consists of specialized tissue made up of bone cells, blood vessels, nerves and other cell types. Now, researchers have succeeded for the first time in recreating this ...

Researchers have developed a soft laser-printed scaffold made almost entirely of water that bone cells readily colonize.

Anabolic agents work differently from other osteoporosis medications in that they don't just slow down bone loss — they can trigger the growth of new bone.
