Bone is an important tissue for space specialists since it undergoes significant changes under microgravity conditions and its healing is slow. Bone has been considered a special tissue since the very inception of medical theories. In Acragas, according to Empedocles (493-492 BC), bone was made of two parts earth, two parts water and four parts fire, thus marking the beginning of quantitative chemistry.
