Noninvasive Loading of the Murine Tibia: An In Vivo Model for the Study of Mechanotransduction
1 Mar 2002
Abstract excerpt
Transgenic and knockout mice present a unique opportunity to study mechanotransduction pathways in vivo, but the difficulty inherent with applying externally controlled loads to the small mouse skeleton has hampered this approach. We have developed a novel device that enables the noninvasive application of controlled mechanical loads to the murine tibia. Calibration of tissue strains induced by the device...
