Scientists from CNRS, in collaboration with hospital-university practitioners, veterinarians, and academics, have developed innovative biomaterials that not only replicate the chemical composition ...

Osteoporosis means “porous bone.” Viewed under a microscope, healthy bone looks like a honeycomb. When osteoporosis occurs, the holes and spaces in the honeycomb are much larger than in ...

By taking bone analysis to a new level of precision, researchers at MIT have revealed an engineering marvel under our skin. Their work may help improve the resilience of man-made materials and ...

Bone can adapt its composition and structure to prevailing loads. 25 Adaptation in size and shape in the playing arm of tennis players is well documented. 2 The Mov13 mouse, ...

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the influence of the pancreas lipase inhibitor orlistat (OLS) on calcium metabolism, bone turnover, bone mass, bone density and body composition when given for obesity as ...

Body composition is the amount of fat, bone, and muscle in your body. Having a good body composition is an important part of staying healthy, as having too much fat can increase your risk of illness.

Recently, Notodihardjo et al. studied the effect of bone formation on critical size defects of 4 mm in rat calvarial bone by applying BMP-2 with or without HA to the defects.
