Mechanical properties and the hierarchical structure of bone

TLDR
Further investigations of mechanical properties at the "materials level", in addition to the studies at the 'structural level' are needed to fill the gap in present knowledge and to achieve a complete understanding of the mechanical properties of bone.

Interaction of microstructure and microcrack growth in cortical bone: a finite element study

TL;DR: Finite element models based on actual human cortical bone images that allow for arbitrary crack growth were utilised to determine the crack propagation behaviour.

Enhanced bioactivity and bacteriostasis effect of TiO2 nanofilms with favorable biomimetic architectures on titanium surface

TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical micro/nano-textured TiO2 films were formed on titanium surfaces via acid etching to generate microtopography and subsequent hydrothermal treatment to produce titania nanopetals or nanorod layers on it.

Biomaterials for 4D stem cell culture

TL;DR: This review will focus on techniques to form hydrogel-based biomaterials and modify their properties in time during cell culture using select addition reactions, cleavage reactions, or non-covalent interactions for studying essential stem cell processes.

A comparative study of the osteogenic performance between the hierarchical micro/submicro-textured 3D-printed Ti6Al4V surface and the SLA surface

TL;DR: The results suggested the adhesion, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stromal cells (BMSCs), as well as the in vivo osseointegration on 3DA surfaces were significantly improved, however, the overall osteogenic performance of the 3DA surface was not as good as the conventional SLA surface.

The compressive behavior of bone as a two-phase porous structure.

TL;DR: These power relationships, which were shown to hold for all bone in the skeleton, allow meaningful predictions of bone tissue strength and stiffness based on in vivo density measurements.

Young's modulus of trabecular and cortical bone material: ultrasonic and microtensile measurements.

TL;DR: The results suggest that when considered mechanically, cortical and trabecular bone are not the same material.

The mechanical behaviour of cancellous bone

TL;DR: The results of this previous study are applied to cancellous bone in an attempt to further understand its mechanical behaviour and the results agree reasonably well with experimental data available in the literature.

Elastic properties of human cortical and trabecular lamellar bone measured by nanoindentation

TL;DR: An experimental investigation was undertaken to measure the intrinsic elastic properties of several of the microstructural components of human vertebral trabecular bone and tibial cortical bone by the nanoindentation method, and differences in the measured moduli are statistically significant.
