Explores the anatomy and functions of human joints, categorizing them into three main types: fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial. It details the characteristics and subtypes of each joint type ...

(non-Flash version) In this interactive feature, explore the fossil remains of Thylacoleo to learn about the marsupial lion's anatomy and inferred ecology and behavior.

Stratasys has enhanced its J750 Digital Anatomy 3D printer with advanced bone capabilities that don’t just look real but behave like human bone too.

This article was originally published with the title “Bone” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 301 No. 3 (September 2009), p. 91 doi:10.1038/scientificamerican0909-91a ...

Using a 3D-printer, the researchers designed and manufactured structures with a similar micro-architecture to bone structure. By varying the thickness of the horizontal rods, they were able to ...

Imaging machine 1 of 4 in Canada Boyd said the imaging showed that the way the bone structure — what he calls micro-architecture — deteriorates with age is different for men and women.

Dairy isn't the only food that's good for bone health. Prunes may also protect bone structure and strength in postmenopausal women, according to a new study led by Penn State researchers.

In postmenopausal women, exercise appears to improve strength at the hip through changes in structure, not bone mineral density (BMD), whereas a bisphosphonate improved BMD and bone turnover markers.
