A Novel Computational Biomechanics Framework to Model Vascular Mechanopropagation in Deep Bone Marrow (Adv. Healthcare Mater. 8/2023)

Mechanobiology In article 2201830 by Lining Arnold Ju and co-workers, a 3D-rendered tibia bone, featuring an observation window located in its diaphysis region, reveals a bone marrow that is abundant in vasculature. During exercise, the central arteries and transverse arterioles experience substantial surface stresses, which are then transferred from the cortical bone to the more pliable bone marrow through a process known as mechanopropagation.
