Glucose–lipid metabolic dysfunction, increasingly prevalent with the worldwide rise in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and aging, has emerged as a critical factor ...

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 channelopathies and myotonic disorders constitute a heterogeneous group of neuromuscular conditions caused by mutations that impair the function of ion channels, including sodium and ...

A McGill-led team of researchers have made an important discovery shedding light on the genetic basis of a rare skeletal disorder. The study, published in Nature Communications, reveals that a defect ...

UCI scientists have discovered a new treatment for the most common skeletal muscle disorder for people 50 and older, officials said. A new study shows that lithium chloride, normally used to treat ...

Gain-of-function mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genes are known to cause a range of skeletal disorders, such as craniosynostosis and chondrodysplasia, which severely affect ...

Patients with schizophrenia experience osteoporosis at rates far exceeding the general population, yet clinicians have lacked genetic explanations for this apparent relationship. Researchers headed by ...

A recent review article in Bone Research examines the role of skeletal interoception in bone health and evaluates biomaterials designed to interact with this system to improve bone regeneration. The ...

Researchers at UTHealth Houston have been awarded an $8.1 million grant by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to examine skeletal stem cells as potential drivers of craniofacial bone diseases and ...
