From broad cheekbones and a flexible back to a small prefrontal cortex, here’s everything an anatomist thinks makes the ...

Scientists have digitally reconstructed the face of a 1.5-million-year-old Homo erectus fossil from Ethiopia, uncovering an ...

A newly reconstructed fossil face from Ethiopia reveals surprising complexity in early human evolution. By digitally fitting together teeth and fossilized bone fragments, researchers reconstructed a ...

One of the most important steps in the evolution of modern mammals was the development of highly sensitive hearing. The ...

When studying how fossil hominids moved, researchers usually analyze the morphology of bones—which is crucial for ...

Osteoimmunology is an interdisciplinary field, that covers the shared mechanisms and interactions between bone cells and immune cells Receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) ligand (RANKL) is ...

Narrator: Muscles! Really? They don't look much use. When a muscle contracts (bunches up), it gets shorter and so pulls on the bone it is attached to. When a muscle relaxes, it goes back to its normal ...

ABSTRACT: Objective: The intimacy of the posterior superior alveolar artery (PSAA) with the lateral sinus wall makes it significant during sinus floor elevation for implant placement in the posterior ...

Introduction: The development and in vitro characterization of the Porcine Anorganic Bone Mineral (PABM) were presented in part I of this series. In part II we summarize the results from a canine ...
