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 team of researchers from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has proven the linkages between ultra-processed foods and reduced bone quality, unveiling the damage of these foods particularly for ...

Joint formation is a finely orchestrated process in which skeletal progenitor cells undergo spatial patterning, differentiation and morphogenesis to produce functional articulations. Early in ...

The study in brief: Clinical/epidemiological research // Peer-reviewed publication // Researcher-initiated study // Causal correlation // Statistical correlation // Prospective observational study // ...

Humans have a distinctive skeleton, and are the only bipedal great apes (the great ape species are bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, orangutans, and humans). While the evolution of the human skeleton ...

The introduction of novel approaches enabling 3D visualization of bone and cartilage presents a groundbreaking opportunity to enhance the understanding of vertebrate development. 1,2 By transitioning ...

Researchers have generated mice lacking the estrogen receptor beta gene, both fiber-specific and muscle stem cell-specific, which resulted in abnormalities in the growth and regeneration of skeletal ...
