Teeth naturally wear down over time, but scientists have found that they could signal certain cells to regrow bones, opening ...
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 ...
As we age, the health of our bones becomes increasingly important. Osteoporosis, a condition characterized by weakened bones, affects millions, leading to fractures and reduced quality of life. Among ...
In our bones, specialized cells called osteoblasts are responsible for building up bone substance. A team of researchers has now identified an enzyme that controls the activity of osteoblasts. An ...
Periodontitis is characterized by the loss of teeth resulting from inflammation of gums due to bacterial infections. The susceptibility to such bone loss disorders increases with age. The expression ...
How our bodies break down and remove old and damaged bone tissue is linked to our inner circadian clock, according to a new study from the University of Surrey and the University of Sheffield. The ...
A recent project has revealed new bone formation in critical bone defects of an animal model with an exposure to a pencil-type non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma at surgery. Recent technological ...

Hypoxia leads to reduced dental bone formation during orthodontic tooth movement in rats
Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from the Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions ...
After 30s, bone breakdown slowly begins to outpace formation and increases the risk of fracture and osteoporosis. However, women who adopt bone-care habits have shown slow bone loss and maintain ...
