A newly discovered receptor switch that boosts bone growth could transform how we treat osteoporosis, by stimulating the body’s own bone-building machinery using a targeted drug and even mechanical ...
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 identifies Neural EGFL-like 2 (NELL2), a secreted protein, as a key regulator of bone homeostasis, offering potential therapeutic applications for osteoporosis. NELL2 promotes ...
Studies by University of Birmingham researchers suggest that a naturally occurring peptide known as PEPITEM (Peptide Inhibitor of Trans-Endothelial Migration), could represent a promising potential ...
