Bone Abstracts

Background: We have previously found in the chronic SKG mouse model of arthritis that long standing (5 and 8 months) inflammation directly leads to high collagen bone turnover, disorganization of the collagen network, disturbed bone microstructure and ultimately declining in bone biomechanical properties. Our main goal was to study the effects of the inflammatory process on the microarchitecture and mechanical properties of bone in the early stages of arthritis development.</p...
