Here we show that Australopithecus africanus (~ 3 to 2 million years ago) and several Pleistocene hominins, traditionally considered not to have engaged in habitual tool manufacture, have a human - like trabecular bone pattern in the metacarpals consistent with forceful opposition of the thumb and fingers typically adopted during tool use.

The trabecular structure of the talus is more divergent than the tibia, having thicker, less uniformly aligned trabeculae in Pan compared to Homo.

Differences in dorsiflexion at the talocrural joint and in degree of mobility at the talonavicular joint are reflected in the distribution of cortical and trabecular bone.

Trabecular bone remodels quickly during life and can reflect the actual behaviour of individuals in their lifetime.

Cortical and trabecular bone distributions correlate with habitual joint positions adopted by each species, and thus have potential for interpreting joint position in fossil hominoids.

Other data obtained in this report (BrdU nitroblue tetrazolium staining by alkaline phosphatase and fluorescence due to fluorescein) would further suggest that putative stem cells are located in the posterior limbus between the peripheral endothelium and the trabecular meshwork.

The area of the trabecular meshwork and its surrounding posterior limbus in the human, however, showed considerable fluorescence indicative of cell division (Figure 6B).

Conclusions: It is suggested stem - like cells may be sequestered in a niche at the junctional region where the corneal endothelial cells and the trabecular meshwork come together.

In this report, no telomerase activity in the limbal region from Schwalbe's line to the trabecular meshwork was detecteIn this report, no telomerase activity in the limbal region from Schwalbe's line to the trabecular meshwork was detectein the limbal region from Schwalbe's line to the trabecular meshwork was detected.

The effect of glucocorticoid treatment is most prominent on trabecular bone and is therefore likely to be larger on vertebral bone than on hip bone.3 Glucocorticoids are associated with an increased rate of fracture, and higher doses and longer use of glucocorticoids are associated with higher risks of fracture.4 Compared with patients not taking glucocorticoids, the risk of hip and vertebral fracture among patients taking glucocorticoids is increased by 60 % and 160 %, respectively.4 Among 80 - year - old patients, the hip fracture risk is increased by a magnitude of 2.1 and is independent of BMD.5 Most studies indicate that fracture risk is increased following at least 3 months of treatment with daily doses of 5 mg of prednisolone or more in older men and women.4

There was also increased fluorescence in the area of the trabecular meshwork and posterior limbus of greater magnitude than in the unwounded condition (Figure 7B).

However, we have found a fluorescent marker for nestin, a neural crest stem cell marker, in the posterior limbal region of the human anterior segment in the vicinity of both the trabecular meshwork and Schwalbe's line (unpublished).

When BrdU fluorescence assays were made on corneal transverse sections with fluorescein, fluorescence occurred in an area just at and adjacent to the trabecular meshwork, but was not seen at the corneal endothelium.

By way of contrast, considerable fluorescence was observed in the area of the trabecular meshwork and the posterior limbus (Figure 6B).

The authors say that it's possible that the new trabecular meshwork cells generated from the stem cell treatment could eventually succumb to the same mechanisms that caused the fluid buildup in the first place, but further research is needed in that area.

ICS offers new capabilities for analysing bone dynamics including both in vivo and ex vivo analysis of trabecular and cortical bone structures by MicroCT.
