The "osteostat": a theory of bone mechanosensing and setpoint adaptation based on osteocytes
Yves Pauchard, Pascal R. Buenzli
This paper develops a theory of bone mechanosensing and adaptation based on osteocytes, showing how setpoint adaptation during remodelling affects bone response and may lead to hysteresis.
