Validation of a 3D-printed human temporal bone model for otology surgical skill training
Hypothesis: Three-dimensional (3D) printed temporal bones are comparable to cadaveric temporal bones as a training tool for otologic surgery. Background: Cadaveric temporal bone dissection is an integral part of otology surgical training.

Effects of Lobeglitazone, a New Thiazolidinedione, on Osteoblastogenesis and Bone Mineral Density in Mice [PDF]
BackgroundBone strength is impaired in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus despite an increase in bone mineral density (BMD). Thiazolidinedione (TZD), a peroxisome proliferator activated receptor γ agonist, promotes adipogenesis, and suppresses ...

The presence of Wormian bones increases the fracture resistance of equine cranial bone.
Wormian (intrasutural) bones are small, irregular bones, that are found in the cranial sutures of the skull. The occurrence of Wormian bones in human skulls has been well documented but few studies have detected the presence of such bones in domestic ...

Evaluation of Salmon (Salmo salar) and Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) pin bones using textural analysis and micro X-ray computational tomography [PDF]
Industrially, common problems arise with the deboning pin bone process, where Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) and Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) fillets, post rigor, are subjected to a pulling process to remove the pin bones from the fillet.

Bone marker gene expression in calvarial bones: different bone microenvironments
Background In calvarial mice, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate into osteoprogenitor cells and then differentiate into osteoblasts that differentiate into osteocytes, which become embedded within the bone matrix.

Radiological Differences in Chondroblastoma of Tubular and Non-Tubular Bones [PDF]
Introduction: Chondroblastomas are rare bone tumours accounting for only 1% all primary bone tumours. Epiphysis of long bones are most commonly affected, where as the flat bones, short tubular bones and apophysis of long bones are comparatively less ...
