Osteoblasts are the cells required for bone synthesis and mineralization, both during the initial formation of bone and during bone remodelling. These cells are present on the bone surface in the ...

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.

The tropism of prostate cancer cells for bone and their tendency to induce the osteoblastic phenotype is a result of interactions between prostate cancer cells and osteoblasts. Prostate cancer ...

Osteoporosis is the primary cause of bone fractures in the elderly, reflecting an imbalance between osteoclasts, bone-degrading cells, and osteoblasts, bone-building cells. Teriparatide is the ...

In the study, the researchers conducted biofunctionalization experiments with murine calvariae pre-osteoblasts (MC3T3-E1) to assess the osteogenic response on modified 3-D surfaces for BTE.

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 ...
