Bone Cell Biomechanics, Mechanobiology and Bone Diseases
provides a comprehensive overview of recent knowledge and advances of
bone cell biomechanics and related bone diseases, highlighting the
cellular basis for bone responding to mechanical stimuli. The book not
only provides a general overview of bone cell biology, but also the most
recent advances of bone cell biomechanics, mechanobiology, the
relationship between bone cell biomechanics and bone diseases, as well
as the underlying mechanism. This will be useful in understanding the
role of mechanobiology in bone health and bone diseases, as well for
investigating novel strategies for diagnosis and therapy of bone
diseases.
Cells covered in the book include
osteocyte, BM-MSC, osteoblast, osteoclast and chondrocyte. Cone diseases
covered are osteoporosis, scoliosis and osteoarthritis. This
comprehensive reference is written for researchers, scientists,
clinicians and students.
- Presents a comprehensive introduction of current knowledge and recent advances of bone cell biomechanics
