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...
