Technological advances in imaging techniques and biometric data acquisition have enabled
us to apply methods of network science to study the morphology and structural design of …

Many of the unresolved debates in palaeoanthropology regarding evolution of particular
locomotor or manipulative behaviours are founded in differing opinions about the functional …

It is assumed that density and morphology of trabecular bone is partially controlled by
mechanical forces. How these effects are expressed in the local metabolic functions of …

Bone is a dynamic tissue that is able to sense and adapt to mechanical stimuli by
modulating its mass, geometry, and structure. Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) are …

Techniques of bone reconstructive surgery are largely based on conventional, non-cell-
based therapies that rely on the use of durable materials from outside the patient's body. In …

Scaffolds, also called bioscaffolds, are needed in all tissue engineering applications as
carriers for cells and biochemical factors, as constructs providing appropriate mechanical …

Osteoporotic vertebral fractures typically have a gradual onset, frequently remain clinically
undetected, and do not seem to be related to traumatic events. The osteoporotic vertebrae …

Ontogenetic changes in the human femur associated with the acquisition of bipedal
locomotion, especially the development of the bicondylar angle, have been well …

In this study, we investigate how morphological parameters and mechanical properties
derived from microcomputed tomography (μCT) are affected by small errors in threshold …

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), which reside within the stromal compartment of bone
marrow, have the potential to differentiate toward diverse mesenchymal lineages, including …
