A Pre-Print of our article showing Stochastic growth marks in crocodiles is now available. The final article will follow shortly! @mariaeugeniap.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Symposia 🔍 There will be 29 themed symposia and one open general symposium at the upcoming IPC7. 📢 Today we highlight: ✨Advances on the histology of the mineralised tissues of vertebrates✨

Bone histology of phorusrhacids (terror birds) indicates rapid, uninterrupted growth (typical of most modern birds but unlike flightless paleognaths such as ostriches and kiwi): anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/... 🪶🧪 (📷Dreyer et al.)

🐊 Extra growth marks in Nile crocodiles? Read this piece on our recent work uncovering new insights into crocodile bone histology and growth patterns. @palaeo-prof.bsky.social www.npr.org/2026/02/05/n...

Inferring bird migration from bone isotopes and histology: A fossil‐friendly methodological framework - Duhamel - 2026 - Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Wiley Online Library besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

New Publication Alert! Our new paper on black bear bone histology is out today in the Journal of Anatomy! Read the paper here: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

Bone histology of troodontid dinosaur metatarsals from the Dinosaur Park Formation: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... 🪶🧪 (📷Garros et al.)

Distraction osteogenesis is used to treat limb length discrepancy and bone nonunion, deformities, and defects. Sishun Pu & coauthors developed a 4D time-lapse morphometry method to quantify bone formation and resorption: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Each of your 206 bones is a living organ! Microscopic view of compact bone at 1000x magnification, showing an osteon with a central canal surrounded by concentric lamellae. Tiny canaliculi radiate outward, connecting osteocytes (bone cells) within the bone matrix. 🦴✨ #Histology #Anatomy

Last call! Applications for our Applied Implementation Science Fellowship Program close February 13. If you are an embedded researcher working in osteoporosis, asthma, thyroid eye disease, or IgG4-related diseases, this is the program for you! buff.ly/AkyaRnL

Did you know 1 in 5 men over the age of 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis? Find information about osteoporosis in men and where to find support on our web page: theros.org.uk/men

Our new paper in Bone Reports explores the potential of archaeological and palaeontological specimens to contribute to biomedical research and advance our understanding of bone remodelling processes, and further highlights avenues for future interdisciplinary collaboration in bone histology studies.

In this Review, Silvia Marino & Teresita Bellido discuss the role of the parathyroid hormone 1 receptor pathway in bone homeostasis and of osteocytes as mechanosensors and drivers of bone remodelling (£) go.nature.com/43fzOI0

Yesterday was World Osteoporosis Day, a reminder that bone health depends on more than calcium. Polluted indoor air can weaken bones through inflammation and toxins. Clean air may be one of the quiet protectors of strength as we age. airsupportproject.com/bones-breath...

Osteoporosis is often seen as a disease that primarily affects older women. But older men can have brittle bones too, and lack of awareness and testing for osteoporosis can result in painful and life-threatening bone fractures. bit.ly/3WPsorn

Huge congratulations to our Honours student Bella Pearce, who submitted her Honours thesis today! Her thesis investigated femur intra-cortical bone remodelling variation with age and social status in a sample of medieval females.

Get your abstracts submitted! Our team has already done so and we look forward to going to Auckland for #ashb2025

We are pleased to offer Student Conference Support Grants for our 2025 meeting. If you are an ASHB student member and intend on presenting either a paper or poster, consider applying for financial support here: forms.gle/77WCN3ym3fGQ... Applications close 11:59 NZDT on Monday 13th of October.

People who skip breakfast and eat late dinners may have an increased risk of developing osteoporosis, according to a new study published in the JES. Read more in @endocrinesociety.bsky.social: https://bit.ly/41WLdMg #JES #osteoporosis @endosocjournals.bsky.social#JES

Have you got questions about how much calcium your bones need and if you need a supplement? We’ve answered some of your most common questions at theros.org.uk/calcium

Back at the Aussie synchrotron @ansto.bsky.social scanning bone samples! So good to be back!!

Our lab member Holly Reid gave a presentation today at #WAC10 about distinguishing human from non human animal bone using histology

@isph2025.bsky.social Thanks to @justyna Miszkiewicz and team for a fabulous ISPH meeting! @paleohistology

New year, new social media platform, new destinations. More than excited to spend the week at the University of Queensland with Justyna Miszkiewicz, learning new cool things about human bone histology 🦴🔬
