Scientists have identified a protein that blocks the activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) by stopping them from maturing during the journey to sites of bone formation, a new study has found.
Estrogen plays an important role in bone biology, best illustrated by three points of observations: Although both ESRs are identified in osteoblasts (cells that make bone), osteoclasts (cells that ...
Osteoblasts are the cells responsible for bone formation. These cells were found to experience senescence, an accelerated aging or premature shutting down of cellular activity due to the mutation.
