Provides a comprehensive overview of recent knowledge and advances in the biomechanics of bone cells and bone-related diseases, addressing the basics of how bones respond to mechanical stimulation under stress. This book provides a comprehensive overview of bone cell biology as well as the latest developments in bone cell biomechanics, mechanobiology, and the relationships and mechanisms between bone cells, biomechanics, and bone diseases. This will be useful for understanding the role of technology in bone health and bone diseases and for exploring new strategies for diagnosing and treating bone pain.
Cells included in the book include osteocytes, BM-MSCs, osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and chondrocytes. The diseases the group focuses on are osteoporosis, scoliosis and osteoarthritis. This general reference is intended for scientists, researchers, practitioners and students. A comprehensive introduction to new knowledge and developments in bone cell biomechanics.
Introducing new technology for bone science.
Mechanical transmission in bone cells, mechanisms and bone diseases are discussed.
