The GPR133 receptor is expressed by osteoblasts, the cells that make bone. The study suggests that this receptor helps those cells sense two kinds of input: mechanical strain and signals relayed by ...

The basis of the biomedical application is the sugar found in the shell of crustaceans called chitosan. The properties of the sugar are enhanced through the use of different nanomaterials. Chitosan is ...

As we age, the health of our bones becomes increasingly important. Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weakened bones, affects millions, leading to fractures and reduced quality of life. Among ...

Periodontitis-related bone loss is often considered a localized condition, leaving systemic consequences unclear. A new study shows that salivary microbiota from periodontitis patients can accelerate ...

A team develops an innovative injectable hydrogel for bone regeneration, addressing the limitations of traditional bone grafts and adhesion methods. A research team led by Professor Hyung Joon Cha ...

MicroRNA-27a has been shown to stimulate both the wingless-type integration site family, or Wnt signaling, and the bone morphogenetic protein pathways to actively promote bone regeneration, according ...
