Osteoblasts act in a group to make bone over the course of several months. However, how osteoblasts cooperate with each other in vivo is still unknown. Now, researchers at Osaka University established ...

Bone tissue homeostasis is maintained by a balance between bone formation by osteoblasts and bone resorption by osteoclasts. However, when osteoblast function declines with age, bone remodeling ...

Throughout our lives, our bones are continuously remodeled to maintain strength, repair injuries and adapt to new stresses. Bone dynamics depend on two associated cell types: osteoblasts, which are ...

Studies of patients with osteopetrosis, a condition characterized by increased bone mass and mineralization resulting from osteoclast dysfunction, have resulted in identification of many critical ...

Osteoclasts are specialized, multinucleated cells that play a vital role in bone development and regeneration. Credit: vetpathologist/Shutterstock.com The skeleton is ...

In a new study published in Cell, "RNA sensing by gut Piezo1 is essential for systemic serotonin synthesis", a research team led by Kenta Maruyama M.D., Ph.D. from National Institute for Physiological ...
