Now, a new study shows that the risk of failure can be predicted before implantation based on detailed measurements of bone structure. Using high-resolution micro-CT scans, a team of researchers ...

After segmentation, the 3D triangle-based surfaces of each bone structure (Figure 2E) were exported in stereo lithography (STL) format. The STL surface models were imported and meshed in MSC.Patran® ...

It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

Researchers have uncovered a hierarchical structure of immune-privileged stem cells in bone marrow niches, revealing their regenerative potential and therapeutic relevance.

This finding indicates that tobacco use impacts the structure of our skeletons." Dr. Inskip said. While the harmful effects of smoking on organs like the lungs, throat, and bladder are well-known, its ...

Prunes are uniquely beneficial for bone health due to their composition of vitamin K, potassium, boron and polyphenols, which support bone density and may reduce the risk of fractures.

Prunes may also protect bone structure and strength in postmenopausal women, according to a new study led by Penn State researchers. Dairy isn't the only food that's good for bone health.
