Objectives With age, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) have reduced ability of
differentiating into osteoblasts but have increased ability of differentiating into adipocytes …

Résumé Stone analysis is a critical part of the clinical characterization of urolithiasis. This
article reviews the strengths and limitations of micro CT in the analysis of stones. Using …

Water constitutes roughly a quarter of the cortical bone by volume yet can greatly influence
mechanical properties and tissue quality. There is a growing appreciation for how water can …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes bone loss, particularly in cortical bone, through
formation of cortical pores which lead to skeletal fragility. Animal models of CKD have shown …

This study aimed to fabricate and characterize bovine nanohydroxyapatite (nano-HAp)
scaffolds at a low sintering temperature. The compact bone/starch systems were formed …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to loss of cortical bone through cortical thinning and the
development of cortical porosity. The goal of this current study was to assess cortical bone …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to significant bone loss primarily through the
development of cortical porosity. In both patients and animal models of CKD, sustained …

Purpose Chronic kidney disease (CKD) leads to increased bone fragility and risk of fracture.
Cortical deteriorations, including cortical porosity, are key factors in fracture susceptibility in …

Cortical porosity develops in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and increases with progressing
disease. Cortical porosity is likely a prominent contributor to skeletal fragility/fracture. The …

Introduction Diabetic bone disease is characterized by an increased fracture risk which may
be partly attributed to deficits in cortical bone quality such as higher cortical porosity …
