Bone density is critical for our posture and safe movement. When you have dense bones, you're much less likely to fracture a ...

Modern humans have uniquely small and flat faces, especially compared with our Neanderthal cousins' notoriously robust faces ...

A transformative study has uncovered the pivotal role of the protein Naked cuticle homolog 2 (NKD2) in regulating the differentiation of bone-forming osteoblasts and bone-resorbing osteoclasts.

Yamada et al. evaluated the performance of serum tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase 5b (TRACP5b), a biochemical marker for bone resorption, in comparison with established markers in the ...

These cells, crucial for healthy bone turnover, were found to have reduced potential for transforming into osteoclasts—the cells responsible for bone resorption. Without proper osteoclast ...
