Article Synopsis
- The study explored how the ultrastructural anatomy of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tibial enthesis develops and matures in young children, aiming to show that it resembles adult anatomy by early postnatal stages.
- Five fresh-frozen human pediatric knee samples (ages 1-36 months) were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and histological techniques to observe changes in the enthesis structure over time.
- Findings indicated that by 19 months, the ACL enthesis transitions to a more adult-like structure with notable changes in collagen fiber arrangements and complex remodeling correlating with increased mechanical loading from weightbearing.
The bone organ is poorly represented in comparative research on mammalian mass-specific metabolic rates. As a first order attempt to remedy this, from the literature we collected mass-specific metabolic rates for all major organs except for the bone organ, and by subtraction infer the rate for the bone organ. The scaling relationships are given of each whole-organ mass-specific metabolic rate and of the relationship between whole-organ metabolic rate and body mass.

Dental cementum is a tissue of choice for the estimation of age at death in adult individuals as it continues deposition for the entirety of an individual's life. Previous works have devised regression formulas correlating cementum thickness to age at death.
