A team of chemists from the UK has made a remarkable discovery about the structure of bone and shown that much of the mineral from which it is made comprises a viscous 'goo-like' fluid that is trapped between the crystals that form bone. They say their findings reveal new insights into bone diseases like osteoporosis.The goo-like fluid allows movement or slipperiness between the calcium phosphate nano-crystals so they do not shatter under pressure.
