Constructed image from spatial transcriptomics slides measuring gene expression in tissues. This shows the developing upper limb, including the developing hand and digits. Each spot represents a ...

New research has now mapped the unique genetic profile of the skeleton's 'master regulator' cells, known as osteocytes. Research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has for the first time ...

In vertebrates, the skeleton of different regions of the body arises from different precursor cells. Researchers have now discovered that these skeletal cells do not just differ in their developmental ...

When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the ...

When we think of type 2 diabetes, images of heart problems or kidney damage often come to mind. But lurking quietly behind these well-known complications is another serious threat—bone disease.

Research led by the Garvan Institute of Medical Research has for the first time mapped the unique genetic profile of the skeleton's 'master regulator' cells, known as osteocytes. The study published ...

The first "blueprint" of human skeletal development reveals how the skeleton forms, shedding light on the process of arthritis, and highlighting cells involved in conditions that affect skull and bone ...
