Using a new fluorescent mouse model with advanced imaging techniques, researchers have successfully visualized how musculoskeletal components are integrated into the functional locomotor system during ...

The first 'blueprint' of human skeletal development reveals how the skeleton forms, shedding light on the process of arthritis, and highlighting cells involved in conditions that affect skull and bone ...

Extensive research is providing new insights into the roles that our normal gut microbiota play on health and disease. A healthy gut microbiome contributes to skeletal health, but studies in mice have ...

Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind roadmap of how human skeletal muscle develops, including the formation of muscle stem cells. An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the Eli and ...

Researchers have identified a protein that’s critical to the development of skeletal muscle mass and strength and the tissue’s ability to metabolize glucose. They say their findings may lead to ...

Humans have a distinctive skeleton, and are the only bipedal great apes (the great ape species are bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans). While the evolution of the human skeleton ...

The skeletal system is made up of your bones and creates the support structure for the rest of your tissue and organs. Your skeletal system gives your body shape, supports your muscles, provides ...

New clinical insights reveal that protein isn't just for muscles—it makes up 50% of your bone volume and is the secret to ...
