The mechanical properties of bone are fundamental to the ability of our skeletons to support
movement and to provide protection to our vital organs. As such, deterioration in mechanical …

Ageing and associated skeletal diseases pose a significant challenge for health care
systems worldwide. Age-related fractures have a serious impact on personal, social and …

Bone is a complex, hierarchically organized organ system whose composition and structure
are closely related to, and in many ways controlled by, the functional demands made upon it …

Abstract Purpose of Review Image-based finite element analysis (FEA) to predict and
understand the biomechanical response has become an essential methodology in …

Despite the increasing use of protoplasts in plant biotechnology research, shoot
regeneration from protoplasts remains challenging. In this study, we investigated the factors …

Fractures of the distal section of the radius (Colles' fractures) occur earlier in life than other
osteoporotic fractures. Therefore, they can be interpreted as a warning signal for later, more …

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 …

An efficient solver for large-scale linear μ FE μ FE simulations was extended for nonlinear
material behavior. The material model included damage-based tissue degradation and …

The mechanical behavior of the cortical bone in nanoindentation is a complicated
mechanical problem. The finite element analysis has commonly been assumed to be the …

The increasing incidence of osteoporotic bone fractures makes fracture risk prediction an
important clinical challenge. Computational models can be utilised to facilitate such …
