Compressive loading of the murine tibia reveals site-specific micro-scale differences in adaptation and maturation rates of bone

ConclusionBone structure and composition are heterogeneous, finely tuned, adaptive, and site-specifically responsive at the micro-scale to maintain optimal function. Manipulation of this heterogeneity may affect bone strength, relative to specific applied loads.
