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, ...

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 ...

Mutations in the genes COL1A1, COL1A2, CRTAP, and P3h2 result in OI. In most cases, the inheritance pattern is autosomal dominant and, in some cases, it could also be autosomal recessive. The gene ...

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 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 ...
