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 ...

A recent study has uncovered the essential roles of two proteoglycans, biglycan and decorin, in maintaining bone mass, water retention, and bulk/in situ mechanical competence. Through the use of ...

Osteocytes, the most abundant cells in bone tissue, have long been underestimated in their functional capacity. Traditionally viewed as passive entities, recent research has illuminated their pivotal ...

Bone tissue is a complex structure, consisting of mineralized collagen fibers and a variety of non-collagenous proteins, including proteoglycans such as biglycan and decorin. These proteoglycans ...

Managing osteoporosis and bone health in Duchenne muscular dystrophy occurs in a high-risk environment for fractures due to disease-related loss of muscle and movement, adverse effects of ...

Bone health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, particularly for women. Bones provide structural support, protect vital organs, and allow for mobility. However, as women age, the risk of ...

What is Osteoporosis?Osteoporosis – a chronic condition, is characterized by decreased bone mass and deteriorating bone tissue structure. This reduction in bone density makes bones fragile and ...
