Age and Gender Effects on Strain Response and Biomechanical Performance of C57BL/6 Mice
(University of Missouri -- Kansas City, 2018)Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease resulting in low bone mass and micro architectural deterioration of bone tissue. It causes a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. This age-related ... -
Evaluation of the relationship between lacunar wall strain and osteocyte β-catenin signaling pathway activation using finite element methods and confocal fluorescence imaging.
(2023)Mechanical loading of bone has been shown to result in activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in osteocytes, leading to increased bone formation, but the mechanism of mechanotransduction is still unknown. It has been observed ... -
Investigating the effect of Lacunocanalicular Network Morphology Alteration Due To Aging on Osteocyte FFSS Using Computational Modeling
(2022)Exercise and physical activity exert mechanical loading on the bones, stimulating bone formation. Osteocytes are thought to be the bone cells that sense and respond to mechanical loading and that loading induces bone strains ... -
Modeling the soft tissues of the knee joint
(2013)Computational modeling of the knee helps us better understand the forces and strains placed on knee structures, such as the ligaments and cartilage, during ambulatory activities. With better understanding of ligament strains ...
