Abstract excerpt
Use of nanoindentation technology to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) that regulate bone properties represents a novel approach to improving our understanding of molecular mechanisms that control bone matrix properties. Tibiae for QTL mapping were from an F2 population derived from C57BL/6J and C3H/HeJ. A nanoindenter (Triboindenter; Hysitron, Minneapolis, MN) was used to conduct indentation tests on...
