Investigating plastic behaviour in immature bones

University of Sheffield Department of Mechanical Engineering

There are many differences in mechanical properties between immature and adult bones. While adult bones have been studied extensively, particularly in relation to non-healthy ageing and the risk of fracture, there has been a lack of study on immature or young bones and their mechanical properties.

Control of bone shape and function by the extracellular matrix Fibrillin-1

University of Liverpool Institute of Life Course and Medical Sciences

Bones are tightly regulated structures that remodel their structure to adapt to changes in their mechanical environment. With ageing, this mechanical response is often dampened, leading to bone loss and weakness. Read more
