What is a biological 'trait'? / Kenneth Weiss -- The contribution of angiogenesis to variation in bone development and evolution / Christopher J. Percival [and 6 others] -- Association of the ...

Skeletal conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis affect millions worldwide, often causing chronic pain and disability. These disorders stem from ...

Notch signalling is a highly conserved cell-to-cell communication pathway that orchestrates cell fate determination, proliferation and differentiation within the skeletal system. Activation occurs ...

New research uncovers how the Clec14a protein in capillary endothelial cells controls bone growth and maturation, revealing a key mechanism in skeletal development. Study: Type-H endothelial cell ...

Rather than completely blocking all downstream signals, the peptide developed in this study focuses on inhibiting the activation of p38-MAPK. This is enough to downregulate the development of mature ...

Bone spurs are smooth bony projections that form along joint edges, often due to ageing, osteoarthritis, injury, or ...

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 ...

Blood cancers such as leukemia are caused by genetic changes in the blood-forming stem cells of the bone marrow. Scientists at the University Medical Center Mainz have now shown how chronic ...
