(2016-12-09)Dentin and bone are composed of mineralized extracellular matrices (ECM) produced by their formative cells, odontoblasts and osteoblasts. A major component of their ECM is Collage Type 1, along with numerous non-collagenous ...

(Texas A&M University, 2005-11-01)The effect of exogenous somatotropin (eST) on bone changes were evaluated in twenty-nine juvenile horses in race training using radiographs of the third metacarpal obtained over the course of a 128 day research project. A ...
-
(2016-05-09)Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine how micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) affect tooth movements and bone characteristics, including bone turnover, bone density, and bone volume. Methods: A split-mouth ...
-
(2018-05-07)Bone is a dynamic tissue that responds to many stressors including physical stress and certain disease states. Chronic systemic inflammatory conditions, like inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), result in increased bone ...
-
(2012-02-14)Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been shown to suppress bone formation when administered before, but not if administered after, an acute bout of mechanical load in rats. The NSAID ibuprofen inhibits ...

Impact of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids on Bone Adaptations to Simulated Resistance Training (2013-04-30)Young and ovariectomized animals eating diets rich in omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) exhibit enhanced bone formation and decrease bone loss, respectively. Eicosapentaenoic acid, an n-3 PUFA found in fish ...
-
(2018-02-07)Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) effects approximately 1.6 million people in the United States with the incidence and prevalence increasing worldwide. All current treatments for IBD aim to simply mitigate the disease ...
-
(2010-07-14)Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) is used as a countermeasure in animal disuse studies that seek to determine which forms of exercise are most effective in mitigating the effects of disuse atrophy on bone and muscle. ...
-
(2021-04-29)Astronauts undergo significant bone loss during spaceflight. The lack of gravitational loading increases bone resorption and decreases bone formation in weightbearing bones, resulting in a net loss of bone. NASA traditionally ...
-
(2020-01-09)This study investigated the reduced platen compression (RPC) test of the distal femur metaphysis (DFM) of adult male rats. The objectives were to develop a finite element (FE) mesh generation algorithm that would take ...
-
(2019-04-22)Studies have indicated that the physical and chemical properties of scaffolds alone, without exogenous growth factors, can guide mesenchymal stem cell differentiation toward bone tissue regeneration. Ceramics, containing ...
-
(2009-05-15)Disuse of weight bearing bones has been shown to cause bone loss. This poses a health concern for people exposed to microgravity, such as astronauts. Animal studies are used to study factors related to bone loss and ...
-
Skeletal Impacts of Continuous Low-Dose-Rate Gamma Radiation Exposure During Simulated Microgravity (2018-07-03)One of the greatest unknowns in human spaceflight is the effects of low-dose-rate galactic cosmic radiation (GCR). The majority of radiation studies deliver the total radiation dose expected on a 2-3 year mission in minutes. ...
-
(2022-07-25)Large bone lesions caused by disease or trauma are a fundamental challenge often requiring surgical stabilization supplemented with bone graft materials to restore function. A significant fraction of orthopedic procedures ...
