Local mechanical stimuli regulate bone formation and resorption in mice at the tissue level.

Bone is able to react to changing mechanical demands by adapting its internal microstructure through bone forming and resorbing cells. This process is called bone modeling and remodeling. It is evident that changes in mechanical demands at the organ level must be interpreted at the tissue level wher...
