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 mainly contains three types of cells: osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. The osteocytes are the most abundant cells comprising 95% of the total cell population in bone with an average half ...
Microplastics have been detected in human blood, brain tissue, and even bones, where they may weaken skeletal structure and ...
"We already know that practices such as physical exercise, a balanced diet, and pharmacological treatments contribute ...
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 ...
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 ...
Six years ago, archeologists discovered a testament to human survival buried beneath birch, pear, and cherry trees. Under layers of dirt, pinpricked with animal burrows and shrubs, was a circle of ...
