With recent advances in molecular medicine and disease treatment in osteoporosis, quantitative image processing of three-dimensional bone ... structure–function relationships in a hierarchical ...

research teams have shown that the mineral crystals of bone have a hierarchical structure integrated into the larger-scale make-up of the skeleton. Scientists have produced a 3D nanoscale ...

The hierarchical structure of bone gives rise to a hierarchical deformation via a staggered load transfer mechanism at the nanoscale. The yellow cylinders denote the mineralized collagen fibrils ...

because they conflict with fundamental theories that bones are built up in a predominantly uniform hierarchical structure. "Admittedly, it's too early to give an unambiguous explanation of what ...

It’s an example of what scientists call hierarchical configuration. The structure, which has been seen at larger scales in bone before had never before been documented in such tiny structures.

1,2 In this review, we define how the composition and structure of bone determine its strength, describe bone modeling and remodeling — the cellular machinery responsible for constructing bone ...
