Course Description
This course focuses on understanding the biology and mechanics of bone tissue, in healthy and altered states such as in injury, aging, and disease. Topics include: skeletal anatomy and physiology; bone tissue composition, structure, and function; mechanical behavior of bone at cell, tissue, and organ levels; skeletal functional adaptation to its mechanical environment; and experimental and analytical methods in bone mechanics and mechanobiology. Fundamental research in the field and clinical applications are discussed.
