The load-carrying capacity of the skeleton is achieved and maintained as the result of a continued functional stimulus to the cell populations responsible for bone remodeling. Although some bone cells have been assumed to be influenced by the load-induced changes in strain throughout the matrix, no

It is well established that bones functionally adapt by mechanisms that control tissue density, whole bone geometry, and trabecular orientation. In this study, we propose the existence of another such powerful mechanism, namely, trabecular eccentricity, i.e. non-central placement of trabecular bone
The objective of this study was to determine whether demineralized rat incisor matrices were a more potent inducer of ectopic endochondral bone formation than demineralized diaphyseal bone matrices derived from the same donors. Twenty-five-milligram disks of demineralized bone or tooth matrix obtain
North American Inuit and Inupiat ("Eskimo") populations have been described as having a lower bone mass relative to Caucasians as a consequence of their traditional high-protein "acid-ash" diet. However, this bone buffering mechanism has also been implicated as a risk factor for osteoporosis in indu
