A recent study identifies Neural EGFL-like 2 (NELL2), a secreted protein, as a key regulator of bone homeostasis, offering potential therapeutic applications for osteoporosis. NELL2 promotes ...
Drug trial shows reduced abnormal bone formation in those with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva
As flare-ups often precede the formation of new lesions, we are encouraged that this investigational drug may help prevent the progression of FOP. "The loss of mobility created by the abnormal bone ...
Around 40% of adults worldwide are affected by osteopenia: a loss of bone mineral density. This condition is extremely common ...
Seoul National University College of Engineering (SNU Engineering) announced that a joint research team led by Prof. Sunghoon ...
Normal, regulated growth of skeletal bones is a crucial part of the growth of mammals. This is a complex process involving the growth of cartilaginous cells or chondrocytes, their transformation into ...
Researchers have shown that a naturally occurring peptide (small protein) holds promise as a new therapeutic for osteoporosis and other disorders that feature bone loss, with distinct advantages over ...
A new small molecule could treat and prevent excess bone formation. Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an extremely rare disease estimated to affect about one in 2 million people worldwide ...
Tooth loss and bone degeneration are problems that modern medicine still struggles to fix. Data from the National Bone Health Policy Institute shows that 10 million Americans over the age of 50 have ...
Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...
