Osaka, Japan – 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 ...

Previously, we showed that human osteoblasts expressing the human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) gene exhibited specific survival advantages – the result of breaching the replicative ...

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 ...

In our bones, specialized cells called osteoblasts are responsible for building up bone substance. A team of researchers has now identified an enzyme that controls the activity of osteoblasts. An ...

Panel A shows osteoclasts and osteoblasts in normal bone (toluidine blue, ×100). The large osteoclast is actively resorbing bone. Osteoblasts are small, cuboid cells that actively lay down bone matrix ...

Osteoporosis is a silent disease with no outward symptoms until a bone breaks. The word osteoporosis means “porous bones,” which are bones that have weakened structure and have lost some of their ...
