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 ...

How our bodies break down and remove old and damaged bone tissue is linked to our inner circadian clock, according to a new study from the University of Surrey and the University of Sheffield. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions resulted ...

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 ...
