A recent discovery could transform our understanding of bone health maintenance and pave the way for potential treatments for bone diseases, including osteoporosis. Researchers at the University of ...

However, with aging, this network becomes fragmented, and osteocyte function declines. A fundamental question in aging research is how age, and potentially sex, alter the morphology and connectivity ...

CHINA, June 17, 2025 /EINPresswire / -- A study from ETH Zurich shows that premature aging disrupts bone structure and osteocyte networks in an age- and sex-dependent manner.

Aging reduces the density and volume of cortical and trabecular bone tissue Premature aging weakens bone integrity by impairing osteocyte networks, with male mice showing greater structural and ...

Scientists and researchers around the globe are investigating a series of mysteries about what happens to our bones over time.

The discovery of ferroptosis as a driver of osteocyte death in melanoma bone metastasis has broad implications for clinical treatment.

Its function is to form new bone tissue, remodel bones while aging, and heal damaged bones. Osteoclast. This cell is larger than osteoblasts and are found within the bone itself. Its function is to ...

Analysis of mice lacking the precursor for irisin, FNDC5, provides evidence for a sex-specific role of irisin in calcium release from bone due to osteocytic osteolysis.
