Perilacunar bone tissue exhibits sub-micrometer modulus gradation which depends on the recency of osteocyte bone formation
C. J. Rux, G. Vahidi, A. Darabi, L. M. Cox, C. M. Heveran
This study uses AFM to show that perilacunar bone modulus varies sub-micrometer around osteocyte lacunae, with lower modulus near bone-forming osteocytes in young mice, and aging does not significantly affect this gradation.
