Skeletal muscle is a dynamic and highly adaptable tissue responsible for voluntary movement, posture and metabolic regulation. Its unique architecture, involving myofibres, satellite cells and a ...

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 ...

The radiating, kaleidoscopic pattern you see here was once the living glass skeleton – the cell wall – of a single-celled organism called a diatom. These organisms absorb silicon from their ...

In this short classroom lesson, I use a model skeleton to show students some of the major bones in the human body. We look closely at the skull and teeth, ribs and sternum, the vertebrae that form the ...

Our skeletal muscles, which link to bones and enable us to move, have a remarkable ability to regenerate after they've suffered an injury. Scientists have now developed a cutting edge microscopy tool ...

Integrative approach to Great Plains skeletal biology / Douglas W. Owsley and Richard L. Jantz -- Archaeological context of human skeletons in the northern and central plains / Donald J. Blakeslee -- ...

This vivid chameleon embryo has been stained to highlight the bones and cartilage of its skeleton. You can also see some of its developing internal organs. This vivid chameleon embryo has been stained ...
