Researchers at the University of Basel have now discovered that these skeletal cells do not just differ in their developmental origin, but also in their gene regulation—which may be a key to the ...

Adult teeth are worn down by chewing, and sometimes the amount a skeleton’s teeth are worn down can be used to estimate age. However, factors like a rough diet can mean an inaccurate age estimate.

Scientists and researchers around the globe are investigating a series of mysteries about what happens to our bones over time.

The older the person at death, the more pitted and craggy these bones will be. Forensic anthropologists will compare this against a database of standard markers to learn the age of the skeleton.

Cartilage is found at the ends of bones and where joints meet. Tendons attach muscles to the skeleton. Synovial joints (freely movable joints) allow us the free movement to perform skills and ...
