Grupe [1] discriminated between compact and trabecular bone tissues and reported average trace element concentrations of Mg, P, Ca, Zn, Sr and Ba in the two types of tissue.

Compact bone contains a central canal that runs the length of the bone, often called a Haversian canal. Haversian canals allow blood vessels and some nerves to reach into the bone.

Engineering bone tissue from human embryonic stem cells. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, May 14, 2012 DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1201830109 ...

Bones are composed of two types of tissue. Compact (cortical) bone is a hard outer layer that is dense, strong, and durable. It makes up around 80% of adult bone mass and forms the outer layer of ...

Historically, bone’s functions in protecting vital organs and holding people up were well-known, and its relationships to things like the muscles—to which bone connects—were also recognized.

As people live longer, repairing or regenerating human tissues has become an ever-more critical issue. Just in the past decade alone, human stem cells are emerging as powerful tools for tissue ...

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.

In a 2021 study, Beloti's group demonstrated that osteoblasts produce the agrin protein. Osteoblasts are cells responsible for forming the mineralized matrix of bone tissue. The researchers then ...

In a new study Australian researchers have found a relatively simple way to induce stem cells to turn into bone cells quickly and efficiently, using high-frequency sound waves.

Fatty tissue inside your bones acts as a stopgap against declining cells and bone density in weightlessness, a new study of International Space Station (ISS) astronauts suggests.
