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 ...

Bone tissue is a complex structure, consisting of mineralized collagen fibers and a variety of non-collagenous proteins, including proteoglycans such as biglycan and decorin.

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 ...

“The structure of the trabecular, or spongy bone that forms in the interior of (the) bones we studied is unique within dinosaurs,” said Anthony Fiorillo, a Southern Methodist University ...

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

Mysterious, circular structure found to be made from mammoth bones Scientists determine the mammoth bones are 20,000 years old; offering more clues to human behavior during the Ice Age.

It's not just wrinkles that reveal age. A new study finds that changes in bone structure make faces look older, too. While scientists had known there are general bone changes with age, such as ...
