Can vibration statistics of an idealised sine wave be used to examine fatigue properties of porcine trabecular bone? (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Shanker, T.-A., & Zioupos, P. (2017, September). Can vibration statistics of an idealised sine wave be used to examine fatigue properties of porcine trabecular bone?. Presented at HRV2017: 52nd Human Response to Vibration Conference & Workshop, Shrivenham, UK

Fatigue testing on trabecular bone has been performed throughout the years, the data contained could be of use to researchers attempting to find a qualitative link between whole-body vibration and spinal damage. 10 porcine trabecular cores were testi...

Effects of tofacitinib in early arthritis-induced bone loss in an adjuvant-induced arthritis rat model (2017)
Journal Article
Vidal, B., Cascão, R., Finnilä, M. A., Lopes, I. P., Da Glória, V. G., Saarakkala, S., …Fonseca, J. E. (2018). Effects of tofacitinib in early arthritis-induced bone loss in an adjuvant-induced arthritis rat model. Rheumatology, 57(8), 1461-1471. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/kex258

Objectives. The main goal of this work was to analyse how treatment intervention with tofacitinib prevents the early disturbances of bone structure and mechanics in the rat model of adjuvant-induced arthritis. This is the first study to access the im... Read More about Effects of tofacitinib in early arthritis-induced bone loss in an adjuvant-induced arthritis rat model.

Rib biomechanical properties exhibit diagnostic potential for accurate ageing in forensic investigations (2017)
Journal Article
Bonicelli, A., Xhemali, B., Kranioti, E. F., & Zioupos, P. (2017). Rib biomechanical properties exhibit diagnostic potential for accurate ageing in forensic investigations. PLoS ONE, 12(5), Article e0176785. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0176785

Age estimation remains one of the most challenging tasks in forensic practice when establishing a biological profile of unknown skeletonised remains. Morphological methods based on developmental markers of bones can provide accurate age estimates at...

Sharp and blunt force trauma concealment by thermal alteration in homicides: An in-vitro experiment for methodology and protocol development in forensic anthropological analysis of burnt bones (2017)
Journal Article
Macoveciuc, I., Márquez-Grant, N., Horsfall, I., & Zioupos, P. (2017). Sharp and blunt force trauma concealment by thermal alteration in homicides: An in-vitro experiment for methodology and protocol development in forensic anthropological analysis of burnt bones. Forensic Science International, 275, 260-271. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.forsciint.2017.03.014

Burning of human remains is one method used by perpetrators to conceal fatal trauma and expert opinions regarding the degree of skeletal evidence concealment are often disparate. This experiment aimed to reduce this incongruence in forensic anthropol...

Localized tissue mineralization regulated by bone remodelling: A computational approach (2017)
Journal Article
Berli, M., Borau, C., Decco, O., Adams, G., Cook, R. B., Aznar, J. M. G., & Zioupos, P. (2017). Localized tissue mineralization regulated by bone remodelling: A computational approach. PLoS ONE, 12(3), Article e0173228. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0173228

Bone is a living tissue whose main mechanical function is to provide stiffness, strength and protection to the body. Both stiffness and strength depend on the mineralization of the organic matrix, which is constantly being remodelled by the coordinat...
