The aim of the present study was to examine the growth dynamics of the two ossification centers of the body of sphenoid bone in the human fetus, based on their linear, planar and volumetric parameters ...

This week, we are going to discuss a condition that occurs after trauma and surgery as well as after traumatic injuries to the head, neck and spine. The condition? Heterotopic ossification.

In a new study published in Bone Research, a team of researchers from Johns Hopkins University and colleagues, using a combination of lineage tracing and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq), has ...

During angiogenesis, blood vessel penetration into the HCZ initiates bone formation 7, as it allows progenitor cells that mature into osteoblasts and osteoclasts to move into the HCZ 8. Bones are ...

Using the Canadian Light Source synchrotron, the findings deepen a fundamental understanding of bone health and could pave ...

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled by Angptl7. They found that these cells are crucial for bone fracture repair ...

A team led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers has discovered a protein that appears to be pivotal for traumatic heterotopic ossification (HO), a condition in which bone forms in muscles, ...

Bone regeneration research has taken a significant leap forward with the discovery of a crucial mechanism that could transform treatments for bone disorders. Scientists have identified how Discoidin ...
