Using advanced 3D nanoscale imaging of the mineral in human bone, research teams have shown that the mineral crystals of bone have a hierarchical structure integrated into the larger-scale make-up of ...

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone structures through proteins present in the bone matrix. The findings of the study, ...

A blurry brown picture is the most detailed 3D image of bone ever produced. It may look fuzzy, but the model developed from electron microscope images gives unique insight into the remarkable ...

A bone bruise occurs when force strikes the bone hard enough to cause damage to its surface structure. Rather than a break in ...

A bone graft acts as a filler or scaffold for new bone growth. A doctor may recommend a bone graft for many conditions, including fractures, infections, and spinal fusion. In this article, learn about ...
