Researchers at the University of Cologne found that mitochondrial dysfunction leads to early skeletal aging by disrupting cartilage metabolism. The study identified maladaptive metabolic shifts, ...

New mechanisms discovered that show how development-dependent disruptions in mitochondrial function lead to premature skeletal aging.

Skeletal muscles move the bones in the body. The skeletal system is made from bones and joints. The femur bone in the thigh is the longest and strongest bone in the body. The smallest bones in the ...

In vertebrates, the skeleton ... system. The precursor cells of the spine and ribs are somitic mesoderm cells, which arise from the sides of the embryo's back and form—besides bones—also ...

Now, researchers in the team of Ralf Adams reveal another fundamental player in the skeletal system ... any additional labeling. "By combining the SHG signal intrinsic to the bone collagen fibers ...

The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones. Scientists and researchers around the globe are investigating a ...
