Organ and tissue level properties are more sensitive to age than osteocyte lacunar characteristics in rat cortical bone

Organ and tissue level properties are more sensitive to age than osteocyte lacunar characteristics in rat cortical bone

Modeling and remodeling induce significant changes of bone structure and mechanical properties with age. Therefore, it is important to gain knowledge of the processes taking place in bone over time. The rat is a widely used animal model, where much data has been accumulated on age-related changes of...
