Growing a new lower jaw boneIn an operating room at Carle Hospital in Urbana, Illinois, scientists from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and Sandia National Laboratories watched a surgeon fit a ceramic prosthetic device into the mouth of an elderly woman who had lost most of her ...
The growing cartilage is replaced by bone on the diaphyseal side of the plate. As the individual grows, the epiphyseal plate is pushed farther from the primary growth center of the bone (the shaft), lengthening the bone. Ossification and growth of the bone come to a halt when cells at ...

Additionally, the majority of current research on GC-induced osteoporosis focuses on older populations, leaving limited information regarding the impact on premenopausal women and men under the age of 50.46 Diabetic osteoporosis Growing evidence suggests an elevated risk of osteoporosis and osteoporotic ...
The temporary joints between growth centers (described later) in a single growing bone are cartilaginous. Some of these joints persist in adulthood, such as the cartilaginous connections between the ribs and the breastbone (sternum). A symphysis is a variety of cartilaginous joints in which the ...
2020). Bone development begins with the replacement of mesenchymal tissue into bone tissue (Fig. 2). This process of bone formation occurs through two basic mechanisms. The first is intramembranous bone formation, when bone forms inside the mesenchymal membrane (ex., skull and jaw); this forms...
Bone remodeling is a lifelong process that gives rise to a mature, dynamic bone structure via a balance between bone formation by osteoblasts and resorption by osteoclasts. These opposite processes allow the accommodation of bones to dynamic mechanical f
The development of treatment methods based on biologically active molecules and stem cells and advances in bioengineering determine the growing need for research based not only on reductionist in vitro studies, which, despite their advantages, cannot faithfully reproduce complex processes taking place in ...
Osteoconduction involves the apposition of growing bone to the three-dimensional surface of a suitable scaffold provided by the graft.9 Osteoconduction requires the structural and chemical environments that simulate those found in cancellous bone.10 The ideal scaffold provides dimensional stability and de...
