There is mounting evidence that osteoblasts are involved in the regulation of global energy metabolism. Although osteocalcin signalling remains important, the complexity of systemic energy storage and ...

Researchers led by Kanazawa University show that messages sent by osteoblasts via extracellular vesicles trigger the formation of mature osteoclasts during fracture healing Kanazawa, Japan - In a ...

Epigenetic alterations in peripheral blood cell DNA and implications for breast cancer detection, prognosis, and treatment. Background: Bisphosphonates (BPs) are widely used for the treatment in bone ...

Estrogen plays an important role in keeping bones healthy. Now, researchers investigated how membrane-initiated estrogen receptor alpha (mERα) signaling in specific cell types of female mice affects ...

In our bones, specialized cells called osteoblasts are responsible for building up bone substance. A team of researchers has now identified an enzyme that controls the activity of osteoblasts. An ...

Osaka, Japan – Osteoblasts act in a group to make bone over the course of several months. However, how osteoblasts cooperate with each other in vivo is still unknown. Now, researchers at Osaka ...
