An international study shows that bone mechanoadaptation evolved alongside locomotion. By comparing vertebrates with different movement strategies, researchers identified protein families in the bone ...

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone ...

Dinosaurs sit at the crossroads between reptiles and birds, leading scientists to debate whether they were warm- or cold-blooded. A new study may have found the answer for different groups of ...

Hypertrophic chondrocytes are deeply involved in the growth of mammalian bones. Researchers find that these cells transform ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst's Institute for Applied Life Sciences (IALS) have developed a technique to replicate bone tissue complexity and bone ...

The human skeleton provides support, facilitates movement, and protects many internal organs in the body. However, as people age, their bones become weaker and more prone to fractures that take longer ...

Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have discovered a new type of bone cell that may yield novel therapeutic targets and strategies for osteoporosis and other skeletal diseases.

When animals are confronted by a threat, there is a physiological response; heart rate and breathing rates increase, and glucose floods the body to provide it with the energy for what comes next. We ...

New research has now mapped the unique genetic profile of the skeleton's 'master regulator' cells, known as osteocytes. Research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has for the first time ...

A multidisciplinary team of researchers has discovered several genetic markers associated with bone mineral accrual, which could ultimately help identify causes of eventual osteoporosis earlier in ...
