 | | Surgery is recommended for fibrous dysplasia to relieve intractable bone pain, to improve mobility that may be impaired due to skeletal deformity, to facilitate the healing of fractures, to relieve local pressure on the spinal cord, spinal nerves, or brain, and to treat the unusual complication of bone sarcoma. | | | Multiple intravenous infusions of pamidronate have been reported to relieve bone pain and lessen the extent of the disease in some patients with fibrous dysplasia. | | | Young patients who have fibrous dysplasia in many bones may have more problems. |

| | Traditionally, X-ray crystallography has been the province of professionals, but the techniques are getting easier to use and the probability of success is increasing. | | | The world is full of crystal lattices of varying degrees of perfection; in fact, most objects that we think of as solids are crystalline. | | | A general statement one can make about these representations is that our ability to derive information from a model often depends as much on what is not depicted as on what isdepicted. |

| | The utility of these fibrous proteins for the formation of new biomaterials, along with their utility towards functional tissue engineering applications, will be highlighted with particular emphasis on relationships of fibrous protein structure, morphology and chemistry to cell and tissue responses. | | | Fibrous proteins, including collagens and silks, provide important models for the fundamental study of protein-protein interactions, as well as suitable polymers for biomaterials related needs. | | | The mechanisms utilized to accomplish the above outcomes has led to new ways to think about how to marry protein polymer chemistry and processing, leading to control of protein folding and assembly into new structures, as well as broader design rules with respect to structure-assembly. |
