Vertebrate skeletal tissues exhibit remarkable diversity in both their mechanical properties and evolutionary adaptations. These tissues are finely tuned composite materials where a combination of ...

The Dongsu Park Lab’s research focuses on the in vivo identity and pathophysiological function of stem/progenitor cells in bone regeneration and repair and to develop better treatment methods for ...

Please provide your email address to receive an email when new articles are posted on . Protein factors along the skeletal stem cell lineage tree may facilitate regeneration of skeletal tissue. These ...

The contraction process involves interactions between actin and myosin filaments within the sarcomeres to generate force. Recent research has achieved significant advances in functional design, ...

This textbook describes the biomechanics of bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It is rigorous in its approach to the mechanical properties of the skeleton yet it does not neglect the biological ...

A cellular signal essential to development of the skeleton increases abnormally during aging to weaken bones. A cellular signal essential to the development of the skeleton increases during aging to ...

The introduction of novel approaches enabling 3D visualization of bone and cartilage presents a groundbreaking opportunity to enhance the understanding of vertebrate development. 1,2 By transitioning ...

A new study has unveiled the crucial role of low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1 (LRP1) in skeletal development. Researchers have found that a deficiency of LRP1 in skeletal progenitor ...

Skeletal muscle tissue can self-repair minor injuries, but significant muscle loss leads to non-functional scar tissue. Current treatments mainly involve autologous muscle transfer. Tissue engineering ...

A recent research study found that a combination of the GLP-1 receptor agonist semaglutide and bimagrumab, an antibody that ...
