Abstract excerpt
Significant variations of nanomechanical properties and fracture morphology between gene-mutated liliput(dtc232) (lil/lil) zebrafish skeletal bone and wild-type bone have been observed. Nanoindentation measurement disclosed that lil/lil bone has 36% lower nanohardness and 32% lower elastic modulus. The standard deviations of hardness and elastic modulus of lil/lil bone were both much higher than those of...
