Bone tissue is a complex structure, consisting of mineralized collagen fibers and a variety of non-collagenous proteins, including proteoglycans such as biglycan and decorin. These proteoglycans ...
Researchers analyzed 62 scientific studies and found that microplastics can harm bones in several ways. These tiny plastic ...
Bone health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, particularly for women. Bones provide structural support, protect vital organs, and allow for mobility. However, as women age, the risk of ...
"We already know that practices such as physical exercise, a balanced diet, and pharmacological treatments contribute ...
Microplastics have been detected in human blood, brain tissue, and even bones, where they may weaken skeletal structure and ...
A unique collaboration between paleontologists, mechanical engineers and biomedical engineers revealed that the trabecular bone structure of hadrosaurs and several other dinosaurs is uniquely capable ...
A mammoth bone structure discovered at a Russian dig site called Kostenski 11 has been radiocarbon-dated and found to be more than 20,000 years old -- potentially classifying it as the oldest circular ...
A recent study has uncovered the essential roles of two proteoglycans, biglycan and decorin, in maintaining bone mass, water retention, and bulk/in situ mechanical competence. Through the use of ...
