Numerous developments in additive manufacturing have endowed triply periodic minimal
surface (TPMS) structures with excellent mechanical properties, providing possibilities for …

Nanomaterials with bone-mimicking characteristics and easily internalized by the cell could
create suitable microenvironments in which to regulate the therapeutic effects of bone …

Bone regeneration in critical-sized defects is a clinical challenge, with biomaterials under
constant development aiming at enhancing the natural bone healing process. The delivery …

Scaffolds are an essential component of bone tissue engineering. They provide support and
create a physiological environment for cells to proliferate and differentiate. Bone allografts …

Background Bone health and fracture risk are known to be correlated with stiffness. Both
micro-finite element analysis (μFEA) and mechanical testing of additive manufactured …

Knee osteoarthritis (OA), characterized by multiple joint tissue degenerations, remains a
significant clinical challenge. Recent evidence suggests that crosstalk within the …

Introduction Osteoporosis-induced changes in bone structure and composition significantly
reduce bone strength, particularly in the human proximal femur. This study examines how …

The mechanics of the trabecular bone is related to its structure; this work aimed to propose a
simple projection method to clarify the correlation between the principal mechanical …

A diversity of quasi-brittle materials can be observed in various engineering structures and
natural objects (rocks, frozen soil, concrete, ceramics, bones, etc.). In order to predict the …

Exploring the relationships between microstructure and mechanical properties of bones may
provide effective suggestions for increasing bone strength and reducing osteoporotic …
