By injecting molecules called short interfering RNAs directly into tissue known
as the trabecular meshwork, researchers have been able to silence the action of disease - relevant genes.
Natural materials, such
as trabecular bone and the toes of geckoes, have evolved with multiple levels 3 - D architectures spanning from the nanoscale to the macroscale.
Additionally, the diabetic mice had considerably lower spongy bone mass, known
as trabecular bone, making it easy to fracture.

trabecular meshwork cells become stiff and less capable of making the pores that let fluid come onboard for their endless transport task
as Liu suspects.
TIGR is made by the eye's
trabecular meshwork cells, which help regulate eye pressure by controlling the drainage of fluid from the eye

When the team scanned hand bones from four members of A. africanus that lived in South Africa between 2 million and 3 million years ago, they found that the pattern of the

as they also show in their study).
Traditional analyses have quantified cortical or
