A small spongy bone called the trabecular was key to supporting huge duck billed dinosaurs that roamed the Earth around 60 million years ago. The four-legged, plant-eating hadrosaurs or 'bulky ...

Vishal Mohanakrishnan, PhD student and first author of the current study, explains the special features of the newly discovered capillary type: “Type R capillaries are unique vascular structures that ...

The spongy bone's thickness, volume and surface area can tell us a lot about how strong joint bones are. The work also didn’t look at modern human foragers to see if their increased activity ...

This is a stained cross section of spongy bone from a human fetus. The spongy bone is blue (1). You can also see the connective tissue between the bones in light blue and gold (2). The outer layers of ...

Differing trabecular bone architecture in dinosaurs and mammals contribute to stiffness and limits on bone strain. PLOS ONE , 2020; 15 (8): e0237042 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0237042 Cite This Page : ...
