Bone Abstracts

Osteoporosis (OP) is characterised by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of the bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and increased fracture risk. OP causes an imbalance in the cellular remodelling process thus inducing changes in the bone’s mineral and organic phases that are responsible for its strength and stiffness. The purpose of this study is to investigate the early effects of OP progression on the arrangement of bone tissue mineral phase ...
