Application of high-resolution 1H MAS NMR spectroscopy to the analysis of intact bones from mice exposed to gamma radiation.

30 Oct 2009 Herein we demonstrate that high-resolution magic angle spinning (MAS) 1H NMR can be used to profile the pathology of bone marrow rapidly and with minimal sample preparation. The spectral resolution obtained allows several metabolites to be analyzed ... Read more...

Bone formation regulates circulating concentrations of fibroblast growth factor 23.

7 Oct 2009 We examined the role of bone remodeling in the regulation of circulating concentrations of FGF23 using mouse models manifesting differing degrees of coupled and uncoupled bone turnover. Administration of the antiresorptive agent osteoprotegerin ... Read more...

A long-snouted, multihorned tyrannosaurid from the Late Cretaceous of Mongolia.

3 Oct 2009 Tyrannosaurid theropods are characterized by a generalized body plan, and all well-known taxa possess deep and robust skulls that are optimized for exerting powerful bite forces. The fragmentary Late Cretaceous Alioramus appears to deviate from this ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Bone and Bones'

Definition: A specialized CONNECTIVE TISSUE that is the main constituent of the SKELETON. The principle cellular component of bone is comprised of OSTEOBLASTS; OSTEOCYTES; and OSTEOCLASTS, while FIBRILLAR COLLAGENS and hydroxyapatite crystals form the BONE MATRIX.

Descriptor UI: D001842
