Compact bone: Also called "cortical bone," compact bone is the dense, hard outer layer. Cancellous: Also called "trabecular "or "spongy bone," cancellous is the inner layer that is less dense ...

A bone autograft involves repairing bone with material from a person’s own body. Surgeons can take tissue from a person’s cancellous (spongy) bone, cortical (compact) bone, or bone marrow.

Nanoscale materials could help in bone tissue repair and regeneration in prosthetic surgery. In a review article, Nongyue He of Southeast University in Nanjing, China, and coworkers highlight ...

A multidisciplinary research team has developed a technique to replicate bone tissue complexity and bone-remodeling processes. This breakthrough could help researchers further their study of bone ...

Your bones provide many essential functions for your body such as producing new blood cells, protecting your internal organs, allowing you to move, and providing a framework for your body.

A bone tissue dies when the blood supply is cut off so the bone collapses. When Osteonecrosis occurs near a joint, the joint surface may collapse.

Creating realistic bone tissue models outside of the body will help advance the understanding of fundamental bone biology, as well as provide new opportunities to model disease progression and ...

A bone callus forms as part of the normal healing process after a bone fracture. It develops at the site of the fracture, around 2 to 6 weeks after the bone is broken.

A small spongy bone called the trabecular was key to supporting huge duck billed dinosaurs that roamed the Earth around 60 million years ago. The four-legged, plant-eating hadrosaurs or 'bulky ...

According to the team, the diopside is relatively nontoxic, biodegradable, and can stimulate the growth of bone tissue in its vicinity, so the implant can eventually fuse with the bone instead of ...
