The study of human skeletal biology has advanced markedly through the integration of high‐resolution imaging, geometric morphometrics and archaeological data. Detailed analysis of long bone ...
Skeletal muscle is a dynamic and highly adaptable tissue responsible for voluntary movement, posture and metabolic regulation. Its unique architecture, involving myofibres, satellite cells and a ...
Our skeletal muscles, which link to bones and enable us to move, have a remarkable ability to regenerate after they've suffered an injury. Scientists have now developed a cutting edge microscopy tool ...
When someone describes themselves as “big-boned,” they’re usually trying to explain why they appear larger even when eating reasonably well or exercising regularly. The phrase has become cultural ...

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to non-union.
An ancient skeleton found in a cave in Borneo without its left foot demonstrates what researchers are calling the oldest known case of surgical amputation. Researchers found the 31,000-year-old human ...
Human biology is the study of all aspects of the human organism including evolution, genetics, ecology, anatomy and physiology, development, anthropology, and nutrition, among others. A deep ...
