Department of Materials and Applied Science, Cranfield University, Shrivenham, UK
J Biomech 41:1961-8. 2008..Our findings may have implications not only for the segregation of bone in these two structural forms, but also for the mechanobiological and physiological processes that govern the regulation of compact and trabecular bone areas...
