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 ...

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 ...

A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as conductors of bone development in the womb and could provide insight into genetic diseases such as osteogenesis imperfecta, known commonly as ...

A pair of proteins could contribute to the development of healthy, strong bones by directing early cell movement and blood vessel generation. A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as ...

If you have ever broken a bone, you quickly learn two things: it hurts a lot, and bones are living tissue that takes time to heal, but they do heal. A fractured femur, for instance, may take six ...

Growth plates are areas of cartilage found at the ends of long bones. They play a role in the bone growth of children and teens. An injury to a growth plate can affect the development of a bone. While ...

Researchers at the University of Alberta have fine-tuned a process for creating accurate digital 3D reconstructions of human bones, offering students and researchers a cost-effective and accessible ...

Human skeletons are often described in neat textbook numbers, but real bodies are far messier and more interesting. Extra bones, tiny or substantial, are scattered through the population, quietly ...

Stem cells form the backbone of many cell-based therapies due to their unique properties, including the ability to self-renew and differentiate to many cell types. Multiple cell therapies deliver ...
