Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype transition Animal studies have shown that some cartilage cells can transition to a ...

Bone is continuously renewed through a process known as bone remodeling, in which osteoblasts (bone-forming cells) build new ...

Bones are the living tissue on which the human skeleton is constructed and play a key role in enabling physical movements. The structural integrity of bones has been attributed to bone remodeling-aa ...

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 ...
