Enzymatic mineralization has become an effective approach to enhancing the stiffness of
hydrogels for bone tissue engineering, but generally with limited toughness. On the other …

Accurate measurement of cortical bone parameters may improve fracture risk assessment
and help clinicians on the best treatment strategy. Patients at risk of fracture are currently …

The differences in bone nanomechanical properties between cortical (Ct) and trabecular
(Tb) bone remain uncertain, whereas knowing the respective contribution of each …

Cortical bone is a complex hierarchical structure consisting of biological fiber composites
with transversely isotropic constituents, whose microstructures deserve extensive study to …

Region-specific differences in age-related bone remodeling are known to exist. We therefore
hypothesized that the decline in tissue-level strength and post-yield strain (PYS) with age is …
