A recent study identifies Neural EGFL-like 2 (NELL2), a secreted protein, as a key regulator of bone homeostasis, offering potential therapeutic applications for osteoporosis. NELL2 promotes ...
Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype ...
Skeletal conditions such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), osteoporosis, and osteoarthritis affect millions worldwide, often causing chronic pain and disability. These disorders stem from ...
Wif1 overexpression accelerated osteogenic differentiation by activating genes related to late-stage osteogenic differentiation and mitophagy processes. Moreover administering Wif1-overexpressing ...
Scientists have identified a protein that blocks the activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) by stopping them from maturing during the journey to sites of bone formation, a new study has found.
