Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) are essential for bone development, homeostasis, and repair. Recent studies have identified distinct SSC populations in long bones, craniofacial bones, and spine. Techniques ...

A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as conductors of bone development in the womb and could provide insight into genetic diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, known commonly as ...

Growth plates are areas of cartilage found at the ends of long bones. They play a role in the bone growth of children and teens. An injury to a growth plate can affect the development of a bone. While ...

The first 'blueprint' of human skeletal development reveals how the skeleton forms, shedding light on the process of arthritis, and highlighting cells involved in conditions that affect skull and bone ...

A pair of proteins could contribute to the development of healthy, strong bones by directing early cell movement and blood vessel generation. A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as ...
