Bone Cell Biomechanics, Mechanobiology and Bone Diseases

Bone Cell Biomechanics, Mechanobiology and Bone Diseases provides a comprehensive overview of recent knowledge and advances of bone cell biomechanics and the 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 provides 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 for better understanding the role of mechanobiology in both bone health and bone diseases, as well as for investigating novel strategies for diagonisis and therapy of bone diseases.

The cells covered in the book include osteocyte, BM-MSC, osteoblast, osteoclast, and chondrocyte. The bone diseases covered are osteoporosis, scoliosis, and osteoarthritis.

This comprehensive reference is written for researchers, scientists, clinicians, and students.
