By creating a mouse model that mirrors the human disease and by studying the muscle, brain, bone and other organs in the mice, we hope to be able to understand the enormous clinical variability in IBMPFD patients.
But now, more attention will turn to whether the experiments — which include growing crystals, studying the bone loss experienced by the inhabitants, and looking at how combustion occurs differently without gravity — pay off for the investment.
By studying the stable-isotope chemistry of ancient bones, Brenner Coltrain hoped to decipher the Fremont diet.
He'd seen the same kind of damage 20 years earlier, when he studied the bones left by chimpanzees in captivity.
By studying her bones, in particular the structure of her knee and spine curvature, scientists were able to discover that she spent most of her time walking on two legs - a striking human-like trait.
In this study, we aimed to identify the role of Id-1 in prostate cancer to bone metastasis and its possible downstream targets by studying how bone cells respond to conditioned medium from prostate cancer cells expressing various levels of Id-1.
The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of physical inactivity to the skeletal effects of psychotropic drugs by studying bone changes in cage control and tail suspended mice treated with either vehicle, SSRI, TCA or lithium.
Now, scientists have tapped a related, sturdier source of molecular information by studying proteins in fossilized bone.
By careful examination of the tympanic membrane perforation and by X-ray studies, the bone-eroding cyst can be diagnosed; it can then be removed surgically before it has caused serious harm.
By studying what mechanisms translate mechanical stress on bones into biochemical signals that stimulate bone formation and resorption, space life scientists may be able to determine how to maintain bone mass.
