What will it take to make the strategy a success?

The figure shows the results of regionalisation of murine cortical bone, which reveals region-specific microstructural properties. Panels A-C show images of regional microstructure quantification, namely intracortical canals and osteocyte lacunae mapped by size. Panels D-G show  graphs of regionalised and quantified cortical porosity, canal number density, lacunar number density and average lacunar volume.

@jtrendbio.bsky.social, @clarkinbonebiol.bsky.social & co used synchrotron X-ray computed tomography to characterise the distribution and structure of intracortical canals and #osteocyte lacunae, helping identify molecular drivers of age-related cortical porosity.
