Hierarchical relationship between bone traits and mechanical properties in inbred mice.

Abstract excerpt

Osteoporotic fracture incidence and underlying risk factors like low peak bone mass are heritable, but the genetic basis of osteoporosis remains poorly understood. Based on beam theory, stating that mechanical properties of a structure depend on both the amount and quality of the constituent materials, we investigated the relationship between whole bone mechanical properties and a set of morphological and...
