The human nuchal ligament helps stabilize the head during running and leaves an indirect trace in early Homo skulls, but one feature cannot prove ancient behaviour.

Researchers hope their new study will act as the “starting point of clitoris science” and help us better understand female sexual organs.

Gunther von Hagens, who invented plastination, a method of preserving bodies by replacing their natural fluids with polymers, recently died at age 81

The musculoskeletal system (MSK) is often one of the first areas where students begin to appreciate the connection between structure and function in medicine. Bones, muscles, joints, nerves, and connective tissues support posture, protect vital organs, assist with circulation, and influence nearly every physical interaction a patient has with the world. At St. George’s University […] The post Mov…

Your spine is slowly squeezing itself flat every waking hour, returning the lost millimeters only once you lie down.

The internal iliac artery (IIA) and superior gluteal artery (SGA) are major vascular structures of the pelvis and gluteal region. Anatomical variations of these vessels may influence pelvic surgery, reconstructive procedures, and endovascular interventions. However, detailed anatomical data in the Vietnamese population remain limited. This study aims to describe the origin, branching patterns, mo…

BackgroundThe human cochlea is a fragile, spiral-shaped sensory organ for hearing that is deeply embedded within the dense otic capsule bone, making accurate post-mortem anatomical studies difficult when using conventional histological approaches requiring sectioning. X-ray microscopy (XRM) is a non-destructive radiological imaging modality that combines geometric and optical magnification to ach…
