Researchers aim to use vibrations to stimulate bone growth. Now, a new study paves the way for developing new therapies that ...

When bone is mechanically deformed, it generates a small electric current. This suggests that the changes that occur in living bone when it is under mechanical stress are mediated by electric ...

This finding provides important information about how bone cells detect mechanical loading. As static loads (even those that produce fairly large stresses or strains) do not initiate osteogenesis, ...

Bone quality and mechanics is a concept used to describe physical features of bone. They can be quantified with bone density, the amount of mineral matter per unit of volume, and the trabecular ...

She is an expert in soft-hard tissue (e.g., osteochondral) interface tissue mechanics; nano- and micro-indentation of bone, soft tissues ... and we are studying how stress and strain gradients in live ...
