Researchers have revealed that RANKL expressed by osteocytes is essential for the bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. This result can facilitate the development of novel therapeutic ...

Researchers may be “excyted” to learn that osteocyte cultures are headed to theInternational Space Station this spring for the first time. With their delivery on the next SpaceX commercial resupply ...

However, the role of osteocytes-mature bone cells derived from osteoblasts-in OI pathogenesis remains unclear. Specificity protein 7 (Sp7), encoded by Sp7 gene is an important transcription factor ...

AUGUSTA, Ga. (Aug. 29, 2017) - The force gravity and physical activity put on our bones causes tiny tears in the membranes of the tiny cells that enable us to make or break down bone, scientists say.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D) is associated with an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures. Several factors have been identified as being potentially responsible for this increased risk, including ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Tokyo Medical and Dental University(TMDU) research team demonstrated that osteocytes have a crucial role in orthodontic tooth movement as the major source of receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ...
