The Impact of Acetylcholine Receptors on Osteocytes and Bone Mechanoadaptation
Bone’s ability to adapt to mechanical loads is attributed to the osteocyte. Osteocytes reside embedded in the calcified bone matrix, where they function as the resident tissue mechanotransducer. Calcium (Ca2+) signaling is a key second messenger in osteocyte mechanotransduction, however the details …

An Exploration of Histological Variation in the Human Rib: Applications for Age Estimation Methods in Applied Anthropology
… intended for publication in forensic and bone biology journals that address issues related to histological age-at-death estimation of the human rib. The overarching sample for the dissertation consists of N=246 individuals from three North American locations ranging in age from 16-102 …

The Role of Claudins in Bone Metabolism
… problem in the U.S., is characterized by low bone mass and structural deterioration of bone tissue. Since the imbalance between bone formation and bone resorption during bone remodeling has been documented to be a major factor in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis, it is crucial to identify …

Bone Characterization of Dicer Deficient Transgenic Mice Under Dmp1 Promoter
… from osteoblasts and encased in mineralized bone matrix. Dentin matrix protein 1 (DMP1) is used as a marker and highly expressed in early-stage osteocytes. MicroRNA (miRNA) are small, single-stranded non-coding RNA molecules that function in RNA inactivation and post-transcriptional …

Exploring Microstructural Signatures of Physiological Stress through Cross-Sectional Geometry and Cortical Bone Histology
… assessments of stress and health in cortical bone may allow for similar approaches at less severe presentations (i.e., prior to macroscopic lesion formation). However, the specific mechanisms of microstructural responses to physiological stress are unclear. This dissertation explores the …

Impact of Hyperglycemia on Rat Cortical Bone Microstructure and Osteoprogenitor Cell Exhaustion
… has been associated with an increased risk of bone fracture and implant failure. However, the underlying reasons have yet to be entirely understood. Our group previously reported that osteocyte number appeared increased in the peri-implant bone of hyperglycemic rats, which might increase …
