Strontium is a metal in group IIA of the periodic table with atomic number 38, an atomic weight of 87.62, and a density of 2.6 Mg/m 3. Its melting point is 768 C, and it boils at 1380 C. The ...

Misha lived her whole life in zoos, but this elephant's teeth are now helping scientists reconstruct wildlife migrations. Geologists show how strontium isotopes found in teeth or tusks reveal where ...

This new study explores the potential of strontium (Sr)-enhanced exosomes, derived from synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs), as a promising therapeutic approach for temporomandibular joint ...

Their study investigates how pretreating synovial mesenchymal stem cells (SMSCs) with strontium (Sr) enhances exosome production and miRNA selectively loading, leading to improved therapeutic ...

Scientists used strontium isotopes in Misha the elephant’s teeth to track her movements, revealing a method to study ancient ...

Teeth recovered from a beloved zoo elephant that died in 2008 are helping University of Utah geologists develop a method for tracking the movements of ...

A recent study in Scientific Reports explored how adding strontium (Sr) to polyetheretherketone (PEEK) using a mussel-inspired polydopamine (PDA) coating could improve osteogenic activity.

While 87 Sr increases over time, the abundance of other strontium isotopes remains fixed. Accordingly, isotope ratios are a proxy for the age of rocks and typically differ from place to place.
