American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 189, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Ethically responsible and culturally acceptable management, study, and stewardship of legacy skeletal and other human remains currently held and managed in scientific institutions is a longstanding concern that, over the length of these collections' existence, has been exiguously addressed.

Cement Lines are Stiffer and Harder than Bone but Exhibit Different Mineral–Mechanics Relationships due to Thicker and Shorter Mineral Particles

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Bone's complex hierarchical structure contains many internal interfaces, including the cement line (CL) around osteons. This article shows that the CL is stiffer and harder than surrounding bone but has different mineral–mechanics relationships. These findings challenge the view of the CL as a soft, protective interface and provide insights for ...

Safety and Feasibility of Extended Platelet‐Rich Fibrin as a Solo Barrier Membrane for Ridge Preservation: A Case Series

Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Introduction Platelet‐rich fibrin (PRF) has been commonly utilized for ridge preservation techniques either to introduce supraphysiological concentrations of autologous growth factors to the defect area (typically when mixed within a bone graft) or utilized alone as a solo “barrier” membrane.

Vascular Microforamina in Adult Human Braincase: A Survey on Dry Skulls

American Journal of Biological Anthropology, Volume 187, Issue 4, August 2025.
ABSTRACT Objectives Microforamina are small vascular passages on the endocranial surface of the braincase, connecting the diploe of the vault bones with the endocranial space. Recently, they have been hypothesized to be involved in brain immune response and inflammation.
