Two new studies offer insights into the evolution and development of external ears, which appear in humans and other mammals ...

It turns out that other scientists had spotted this unique tissue before, Plikus noted. In the 1850s, histologist Franz von Leydig wrote about his observations of rats' ear cartilage under the ...

dualMRI is able to measure the mechanics of connective and cardiac tissues, and short T2 biomaterials, including ligament and meniscus, that are traditionally difficult to image by MRI. We are able to ...

In the 1850s, histologist Franz von Leydig wrote about his observations of rats' ear cartilage under the microscope. "At first sight it looks like adipose tissue," but it still has a distinct ...

Skeletal tissues, like cartilage, are among the simplest ... “Anything and everything that he could stick under the microscope, he did,” Plikus says. Leydig’s book described fat-like ...
