Micro-CT is becoming a gold standard for quantitative imaging in preclinical disease models
in bone and dental research. Osteoporosis research routinely uses micro-CT for 3D analysis …

Understanding the relationship between the microstructure and mechanical function of
trabecular bone is critical for prediction and prevention of bone fragility fractures. However, a …

Objective The aim of the present study was to assess mineralization and trabecular
microarchitecture in atrophic edentulous mandibles and to identify regional differences and …

Alterations in bone strength and structure were found in knockout (KO) mouse strains with
deletion of several acetylcholine receptors. Interestingly, the expression of the nicotinic …

Artificial materials reflecting the mechanical properties of human bone are essential for valid
and reliable implant testing and design. They also are of great benefit for realistic simulation …

Traditional experimental tests for characterizing bone's mechanical properties usually
hypothesize a uniaxial stress condition without quantitatively evaluating the influence of …

Changes in trabecular micro-architecture are key to our understanding of osteoporosis.
Previous work focusing on structure model index (SMI) measurements have concluded that …

Introduction Differences between tibial and femoral joint surfaces and knee compartments
concerning coupled bone and cartilage turnover or bone–cartilage cross talk have not been …

Loss of bone mass can occur in mammals after prolonged disuse but the situation for
hibernators that are in a state of torpor for many months of the year is not yet fully …

Tissue-level properties of bone play an important role when characterising apparent-level
bone biomechanical behaviour and yet little is known about its effect at this hierarchical …
