#MicroscopyMonday – No this is NOT an aerial view of the Grand Canyon.

This is a scanning electron microscopy image of the cranial sutures in the rat skull. These are fibrous joints where the bones of the skull interdigitate, allowing for flexibility and growth during infancy and early childhood before fusing in adulthood.

The complex hierarchical structure of bone, where smaller building blocks form progressively larger structures.

If you were wondering how #dental #enamel resists years of damage and wear, the "enamel rods" are tightly packed, long structures composed of hydroxy(l)apatite nanowires. This highly organized pattern of enamel rods achieves exceptional durability and resistance to mechanical stress.

50 years of scanning electron microscopy of bone—a comprehensive overview of the important discoveries made and insights gained into bone material properties in health, disease, and taphonomy

From micro to macro: a trip from the assembly of #collagen to the formation of bone tissue. This image represents the work of Giulia Giubertoni and colleagues at the University of Amsterdam, revealing the crucial role of water in determining the mechanical properties of collagen. Exciting findings which can significantly improve our understanding of the molecular roots of tissue dysfunction diseases, such as #OsteogenesisImperfecta.
