Introduction The structural evolution of biological tissues over time results from the interaction of multiple processes regulating tissue turnover, repair, and mechanical adaptation. In the craniofacial region, aging has traditionally been interpreted as a consequence of gravity, tissue degeneration, or collagen breakdown. However, increasing evidence suggests that the dominant structural mechanism underlying aging is tissue atrophy, affecting bone, adipose tissue,… Leggi di più...
