(Elsevier, 2016-05-10)
Experimental studies have shown that primary osteoporosis' caused by oestrogen deficiency results in localised alterations in bone tissue properties and mineral composition. Additionally, changes to the lacunar-canalicular ...
Fluid flow in the osteocyte mechanical environment: a fluid-structure interaction approach
