New discovery shows bone marrow stem cells have pressure sensors that decide between building bone or storing fat.

Researchers have discovered a biological switch that explains why movement keeps bones strong. The protein senses physical ...

Bone density still matters. It’s the best clinical predictor we have, and it tends to peak in early adulthood, and declines with age (faster after menopause). The goal is to build what you can, and ...

After serious injuries, burns, fractures, or major surgeries, the body normally repairs damaged tissues and restores movement. However, in some patients, the healing process takes an unexpected and ...

Scientists have uncovered a microscopic exercise sensor inside the bones that explains why movement keeps them strong. The ...

The study titled "The Impact of Sedentary Behavior and Physical Activity on Bone Health: A Narrative Review from the Rehabilitation Working Group of the International Osteoporosis Foundation," ...

A new discovery could help strengthen bones without exercise. Learn how the Piezo1 protein acts as an 'exercise sensor' to ...

Jumping 50 times each morning is the new trend that suggests energy, mood, circulation and bone-health benefits. Experts say simple repeated jumping is a light aerobic stimulus that awakens the body ...

Orthodontic tooth movement is fundamentally driven by the application of controlled mechanical forces to reposition teeth within the alveolar process. This movement is intrinsically linked to alveolar ...

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions resulted ...
