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 ...

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to nonunion ...

On Dec 19, 2025, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced a major milestone by qualifying total hip bone mineral density (BMD), assessed by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, as a surrogate ...

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 ...

We are interested in identifying the cellular and molecular mechanisms that direct how the roof of the skull bones expand to cover the brain. We are addressing this question in collaboration with Dr.

Strong bones need more than workouts; they need less sitting. A sweeping review shows that across all ages, even light daily activity protects bone health, while too much sedentary time quietly raises ...

Modern research shows height is shaped by both nature and nurture. Genes establish a framework, while the environment determines expression. Neither factor works in isolation. Accepting this ...

And they’re not just calcium and vitamin D.
