    GlossaryOssification (Bone Growth)

    process of bone tissue creation from cartilage or mesenchymal tissue

    Ossification, also known as bone formation or osteogenesis, is the process by which new bone tissue is created. This can occur through two primary mechanisms: intramembranous ossification, where bone develops directly from mesenchymal tissue, and endochondral ossification, where bone forms by replacing cartilage. This process is crucial for the growth, repair, and maintenance of the skeletal system.

      SCUBE3, a protein linked to hair growth in moles, was discovered over 25 years ago and is being developed by Amplifica for potential hair loss treatment. Concerns exist about SCUBE3's association with cancer, as it is a protein that promotes cell growth, which could potentially trigger cancer development if used for hair growth therapy.
