Glucose–lipid metabolic dysfunction, increasingly prevalent with the worldwide rise in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and aging, has emerged as a critical factor ...

We invite submissions for a new Collection focused on bone biology, which encompasses the structure, function, and cellular processes of bone tissue, including osteoblast differentiation and ...

For over a century, the science around bones has been rooted only in whatever an X-ray image was able to reveal. Bone research solely focused on mineral content through radiation images, limiting the ...

A recent study has uncovered the essential roles of two proteoglycans, biglycan and decorin, in maintaining bone mass, water retention, and bulk/in situ mechanical competence. Through the use of ...

The human skeleton provides support, facilitates movement, and protects many internal organs in the body. However, as people age, their bones become weaker and more prone to fractures that take longer ...

BUFFALO, NY- October 15, 2024 – A new research paper was published on the cover of Aging (listed by MEDLINE/PubMed as "Aging (Albany NY)" and "Aging-US" by Web of Science), Volume 16, Issue 19 on ...

One of the best-documented pathophysiological changes associated with microgravity and the spaceflight environment is bone loss. The reduction in bone mass and its effect following reentry could ...

In her undergraduate Biology courses at Sacramento State, Fatima Miranda Chavez became fascinated with stem cells and their potential to treat and cure devastating illnesses including cancer, ...

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to non-union. Bone has an extraordinary capacity to heal after injury, restoring its structure ...
