With the need of rapid healing and long-term stability of dental implants, the existing Ti-
based implant materials do not meet completely the current expectation of patients. Low …

Bone is a biomechanical tissue shaped by forces from muscles and gravitation.
Simultaneous bone and muscle decay and dysfunction (osteosarcopenia or sarco …

In polymer chemistry, mechanical energy degrades polymeric chains. In contrast, in nature,
mechanical energy is often used to create new polymers. This mechanically stimulated …

In nature, bone adapts to mechanical forces it experiences, strengthening itself to match the
conditions placed upon it. Here we report a composite material that adapts to the …

Physical activity is essential to maintain skeletal mass and structure, but its effect seems to
diminish with age. To test the hypothesis that bone becomes less sensitive to mechanical …

The limited capacity of typical materials to resist stress loading, which affects their
mechanical performance, is one of the most formidable challenges in materials science …

In orthopaedic surgery, cobalt chromium (CoCr) based alloys are used extensively for their
high strength and wear properties, but with concerns over stress shielding and bone …

Exercise promotes gain in bone mass through adaptive responses of the vertebrate
skeleton. This mechanism counteracts age-and disease-related skeletal degradation, but …

Bone can adapt its microstructure to mechanical loads through mechanoregulation of the
(re) modeling process. This process has been investigated in vivo using time-lapsed micro …

Mechanical environment has a crucial role in our organism at the different levels, ranging
from cells to tissues and our own organs. This regulatory role is especially relevant for …
