Certain avian tendons are known to mineralize normally in a gender-related manner. These tendons have unique properties, as well as several features common to calcifying cartilage and bone in other vertebrate species. In cartilage and bone,…
We present a three-dimensional mineralizing model based on a hollow fiber bioreactor (HFBR) inoculated with primary osteoblasts isolated from embryonic chick calvaria. Using non-invasive magnetic resonance microscopy (MRM), the growth and development…
The primary aim of this study is to broadly evaluate the relationship between cursoriality (i.e. anatomical and physiological specialization for running) and limb bone morphology in lagomorphs. Relative to most previous studies of cursoriality, our…
