In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled by Angptl7. They found that these cells are crucial for bone fracture repair ...

The skeleton is among the most commonly injured body tissues. Every year more than 16 million fractures of long bones occur in the United States. Fortunately, bone has excellent regenerative potential ...

SCFAs promote the production of IGF-1 in the liver and adipocytes, enhancing the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, and stimulating endochondral ossification to promote longitudinal ...

"Historically viewed as mainly a “wear and tear” condition, new insights suggest that OA may be part of an evolutionary, age-related biological process rather than mainly driven by mechanical damage." ...

The most common sites of osteochondrosis associated with anterior knee pain occur at secondary centers including the tibial tubercle (Osgood-Schlatter disease) and/or the inferior patellar pole ...

Osteoblasts are the cells required for bone synthesis and mineralization, both during the initial formation of bone and during bone remodelling. These cells are present on the bone surface in the form ...
