There is growing recognition of the role of micro-architecture in osteoporotic bone loss and
fragility. This trend has been driven by advances in imaging technology, which have …

Bone is composed of dense and solid cortical bone and honeycomb-like trabecular bone.
Although cortical bone provides the majority of mechanical strength for a bone, there are few …

The growing incidence of skeletal fractures poses a significant challenge to ageing
societies. Since a major part of physiological loading in the lower limbs is carried by cortical …

Stable carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) isotope studies of ancient human diet
increasingly sample several skeletal elements within an individual. Such studies draw upon …

The monitoring of the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) is held on frequently in the
clinic and an inconvenient and time-consuming process since PD is generally observed …

Mechanical loading is of pivotal importance in the maintenance of skeletal homeostasis, but
the players involved in the transduction of mechanical stimuli to promote bone maintenance …

A broad understanding of bone and tooth microstructure is necessary for constructing the
biological profile of an individual or individuals within a population. Bone Histology: An …

We analyzed morphological characteristics of osteons along with the geometrical indices of
individual osteonal mechanical stability in young, healthy aged, untreated osteoporotic, and …

Bone remodelling is performed by basic multicellular units (BMUs) that resorb and
subsequently form discrete packets of bone tissue. Normally, the resorption and formation …

Accurate age estimations are essential to archaeological and forensic analyses. However,
reliability for adult skeletal age estimations is poor, especially for individuals over the age of …
