The functions of bones include maintaining blood calcium levels, providing mechanical support to soft tissues and serving as levers for muscle action, supporting haematopoiesis, and housing the brain ...

A mechanism that controls the formation and function of plate-like nanocrystals that play a critical role in bone composition has now been discovered by researchers. An international, ...
