A pair of proteins could contribute to the development of healthy, strong bones by directing early cell movement and blood vessel generation. A pair of proteins, YAP and TAZ, has been identified as ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Miami University researchers are developing a design tool for 3D scaffolds -- artificial structures supporting new bone growth -- that could help expand treatment options for bone ...

Rather than completely blocking all downstream signals, the peptide developed in this study focuses on inhibiting the activation of p38-MAPK. This is enough to downregulate the development of mature ...

Pregnancies do not weaken a woman's skeleton. Breastfeeding, however, can reduce bone density considerably. These are findings from a research report produced at Lund University in Sweden. But ...
