Skeletal Function and Form: Mechanobiology of Skeletal Development, Aging, and Regeneration
Carter, Dennis R. (Stanford University, California)
This book addresses the role of mechanical factors in the development, adaptation, maintenance, ageing, and repair of skeletal tissues such as bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments and muscles. The authors show how the normal development of skeletal tissues is influenced by mechanical stimulation beginning in the embryo and continuing throughout life into old age.
