Estrogen plays an important role in keeping bones healthy. Now, researchers investigated how membrane-initiated estrogen receptor alpha (mERα) signaling in specific cell types of female mice affects ...

Tooth loss and bone degeneration are problems that modern medicine still struggles to fix. Data from the National Bone Health Policy Institute shows that 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have ...

Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

Bones continue to grow robustly through early postnatal to juvenile stages. Remarkably, the length of the long bones increases by ~3 to 4 times during these stages in mice 1. At the same time, bone ...

Bone is a dynamic organ that continually adapts its mass and microarchitecture in response to mechanical forces. This adaptive process, known as mechanotransduction, converts physical stimuli into ...

In a recent study, Associate Professor Makoto Ikeya (Department of Clinical Application) and his team of researchers successfully established a method to generate jawbone-like organoids (mini-organs) ...

Two distinct stem cell lineages that drive tooth root and alveolar bone formation have been identified by researchers from Science Tokyo. Using genetically modified mice and lineage-tracing techniques ...

Your daily lifestyle – what you eat, level of activity – can influence bone strength more than you realise. Dr Sood shares 5 ...
