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 ...

A team of researchers led by Osaka University find an overlap in the mechanism of hair color determination and bone resorption, which is associated with bone related diseases like osteoporosis Rab32 ...

Researchers at Osaka University show that intercellular communication via extracellular vesicles from bone-making osteoblasts is a key factor for the switch from bone formation to resorption through a ...

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

Around 40% of adults worldwide are affected by osteopenia: a loss of bone mineral density. This condition is extremely common ...

Vitamin K has long been linked to bone health, but its precise role remained unclear. A new study shows that vitamin ...

Your body constantly renews your bone tissue in a process called bone turnover or bone remodeling. This process involves resorption (breaking down bone) and then reforming it. In people with cystic ...

This chapter evaluates the effects of fluoride exposure on the musculoskeletal system. Topics considered include the effects of fluoride on bone cells (both bone-forming and bone-resorbing cells), on ...
