The first "blueprint" of human skeletal development reveals how the skeleton forms, shedding light on the process of arthritis, and highlighting cells involved in conditions that affect skull and bone ...

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 ...

Humans have a distinctive skeleton, and are the only bipedal great apes (the great ape species are bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans). While the evolution of the human skeleton ...

Skeletal development in fish is a multifaceted process involving a finely tuned interplay between genetic determinants, nutritional status and environmental conditions. Recent advances have elucidated ...

The introduction of novel approaches enabling 3D visualization of bone and cartilage presents a groundbreaking opportunity to enhance the understanding of vertebrate development. 1,2 By transitioning ...

A team of researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has proven the linkages between ultra-processed foods and reduced bone quality, unveiling the damage of these foods particularly for ...

The study in brief: Clinical/epidemiological research // Peer-reviewed publication // Researcher-initiated study // Causal correlation // Statistical correlation // Prospective observational study // ...

Researchers have generated mice lacking the estrogen receptor beta gene, both fiber-specific and muscle stem cell-specific, which resulted in abnormalities in the growth and regeneration of skeletal ...

Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind roadmap of how human skeletal muscle develops, including the formation of muscle stem cells. An interdisciplinary team of researchers at the Eli and ...

Constructed image from spatial transcriptomics slides measuring gene expression in tissues. This shows the developing upper limb, including the developing hand and digits. Each spot represents a ...
