Breast reshaping following massive weight loss: principles and techniques.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Histology remains the standard form to analyze cranial suture in murine models, but this technique provides only limited "snapshots" of the entire suture and requires animal euthanasia with tissue destruction. Because of the bone complex microarchitecture, better methods are required to study the behavior of...
