The study of human skeletal biology has advanced markedly through the integration of high‐resolution imaging, geometric morphometrics and archaeological data. Detailed analysis of long bone ...

New international study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone structures through proteins present in the bone matrix. A new international study sheds light on ...

Some animals seem to bend the rules of biology, and even physics, with skeletons that push the limits of what bones can do. From creatures that squeeze through impossibly tight spaces to those that ...

This textbook describes the biomechanics of bone, cartilage, tendons and ligaments. It is rigorous in its approach to the mechanical properties of the skeleton yet it does not neglect the biological ...

Researchers from the German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) and the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) have published a study in Diabetes & Metabolism that sheds light on ...
