In most birds, the individual bones, called scleral ossicles, are simple and fairly square. But in Oculudentavis, they are spoon-shaped, a characteristic previously only found in some living lizards.

A twin pair of studies published in the journal tackles to mysteries at once — the evolution of the mammalian molar as well ...

When sound waves hit the eardrum, it vibrates and moves the ossicles, which are the three tiniest most delicate bones in your body. The ossicles move the sound to the inner ear, which sends ...

You can clearly discern the individual calcite plates, or ossicles, that made up the skeletal frames of these animals when they were alive. What's more, the specimens are fully articulated.

Traditional headphones necessitate the transmission of sound waves through the air, involving various elements such as the ear canal, eardrum, and ossicles. In contrast, bone conduction technology ...

Skeletal stem cells have been isolated from various tissues, including periosteum and bone marrow, where they exhibit key functions in bone biology and hematopoiesis, respectively. The role of ...
