Individual bone implants whose structure resembles that of the natural bone can now be produced quite easily. First, a simulation program calculates the bone's internal structure and porosity ...

Measuring bone structure could improve prediction of bone strength, but the clinical feasibility of available imaging technologies is limited. The trabecular bone score—a dual-energy X-ray ...

Researchers have discovered that the structure of human bones is vastly different than previously believed -- findings which will have implications for how some debilitating bone disorders are ...

An introduction to bones. We discuss their function, the different types of bones in the human body, and the cells that are involved.

Some dinosaurs were so big the ground would have shaken while they walked. But how did they carry such massive loads? Dinosaurs likely had a different bone structure to mammals and birds that was ...

Researchers aimed to understand how exposure to cigarette smoke causes alterations in bone structure.

Scientists have developed a unique hybrid bone implant made of polymers that imitates the human bone structure and is additionally reinforced to increase strength and elasticity.

A unique collaboration between paleontologists, mechanical engineers and biomedical engineers revealed that the trabecular bone structure of hadrosaurs and several other dinosaurs is uniquely ...

Unique Bone Structure Helped Long-Necked Pterosaurs Fly Bicycle wheel-like spokes connected the vertebrae’s central column to its outer surface, offering serious strength ...

Metal screws are indispensable in bone surgery, but they can fail under everyday stress and complications can occur when screws loosen or even break. Until now, it has been difficult to accurately ...
