Bone's remarkable mechanical properties are a result of its hierarchical structure. The
mineralized collagen fibrils, made up of collagen fibrils and crystal platelets, are bone's …

Osteocytes can resorb as well as replace bone adjacent to the expansive lacunar-
canalicular system (LCS). Suppressed LCS remodeling decreases bone fracture toughness …

The mechanical properties of many materials are based on the macroscopic arrangement
and orientation of their nanostructure. This nanostructure can be ordered over a range of …

We investigate the three-dimensional (3-D) organization of mineralized collagen fibrils in
human cortical bone based on synchrotron X-ray phase nano-tomography images. In …

Chemical composition and fibrillar organization are the major determinants of osteonal bone
mechanics. However, prominent methodologies commonly applied to investigate …

Small-angle X-ray scattering tensor tomography, which allows reconstruction of the local
three-dimensional reciprocal-space map within a three-dimensional sample as introduced …

The development of small-angle scattering tensor tomography has enabled the study of
anisotropic nanostructures in a volume-resolved manner. It is of great value to have …

The arrangement and orientation of the ultrastructure plays an important role for the
mechanical properties of inhomogeneous and anisotropic materials, such as polymers …

The elastic properties of bone tissue determine the biomechanical behavior of bone at the
organ level. It is now widely accepted that the nanoscale structure of bone plays an …

The occurrence of an amorphous calcium phosphate layer covering the crystalline apatite
core has been suggested to be an intrinsic feature of both bone mineral and synthetic …
