Compact bone

Use of high-resolution micro-computed tomography (microCT) imaging to assess trabecular and cortical bone morphology has grown… Expand

Some ceramics, such as Bioglass, sintered hydroxyapatite, and glass-ceramic A-W, spontaneously bond to living bone. They are… Expand

Several growth factors are expressed in distinct temporal and spatial patterns during fracture repair. Of these, vascular… Expand

Bone lesions above a critical size become scarred rather than regenerated, leading to nonunion. We have attempted to obtain a… Expand

Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a secreted protein that inhibits osteoclast formation. In this study the physiological role of OPG is… Expand

Glucocorticoid-induced bone disease is characterized by decreased bone formation and in situ death of isolated segments of bone… Expand

The Young's modulus of elasticity, the calcium content and the volume fraction (1-porosity) of 23 tension specimens and 80… Expand

Stiffness of compact bone is found to be highly and nonlinearly dependent on its porosity, its complement, bone volume fraction… Expand

The observed fit of bone mass to a healthy animal's typical mechanical usage indicates some mechanism or mechanisms monitor that… Expand

Abstract The use of a tranversely isotropic model is tested for the elastic behavior of bovine and human bone and the five… Expand
