As we age, the health of our bones becomes increasingly important. Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weakened bones, affects millions, leading to fractures and reduced quality of life. Among ...

A newly discovered receptor switch that boosts bone growth could transform how we treat osteoporosis, by stimulating the body’s own bone-building machinery using a targeted drug and even mechanical ...

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 in Germany have uncovered a hidden receptor, GPR133, that plays a vital role in bone strength. By activating it with a new compound called AP503, they boosted bone density in mice and even ...

In our bones, specialized cells called osteoblasts are responsible for building up bone substance. A team of researchers has now identified an enzyme that controls the activity of osteoblasts. An ...

The Discovery of New Members of the TNF Receptor and Ligand Families and Their Relationship to Osteoclasts and Bone Metabolism Binding of RANKL to RANK initiates a signaling cascade, which includes ...

Horsetail may play a role in promoting bone formation, decreasing inflammation, lowering blood pressure, and promoting hair growth, but more research in humans is needed. There is no recommended dose ...

The human skeleton rebuilds itself continuously throughout life, replacing old bone tissue with fresh, strong material in a process that typically maintains bone density until middle age. However, ...

Researchers created a special glue gun that can 3D print a bone-like substance for fracture repair during surgery and have ...
