Background The role of bone structure, one component of bone quality, has emerged as a
contributor to bone strength. The application of high-resolution imaging in evaluating bone …

Osteoporosis is a metabolic disease characterized by low bone mass and structural
deterioration with an increased fracture risk. Atraumatic fragility fractures mainly affect the …

Context: Cross-sectional epidemiological studies have found that patients with type 2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have a higher incidence of certain fragility fractures despite normal …

Quantitative cortical microarchitectural end points are important for understanding structure–
function relations in the context of fracture risk and therapeutic efficacy. This technique study …

Bone mineral density (BMD) measurements are critical in many research studies
investigating skeletal integrity. For pre-clinical research, micro-computed tomography (μCT) …

Biomaterials are playing an increased role in the regeneration of damaged or absent bone
tissue in the context of trauma, non-union, infection or congenital abnormality. Restoration of …

Objectives The present study evaluated the effects of casein phosphopeptide-amorphous
calcium phosphate (CPP-ACP) and CPP-ACP with 900 ppm fluoride (CPP-ACPF) pastes on …

Mechanical disuse will bias bone marrow stromal cells towards adipogenesis, ultimately
compromising the regenerative capacity of the stem cell pool and impeding the rapid and full …

Clinical computed tomography provides a single mineral density (MD) value for
heterogeneous calcified tissues containing early and late stage pathologic formations. The …

Accurate assessment of mineral density (MD) provides information critical to the
understanding of mineralization processes of calcified tissues, including bones and teeth …
