This paper presents an automated pipeline to classify osteocyte and chondrocyte lacunae in mouse osteochondral units using microCT, achieving high accuracy without manual intervention or cement line identification.

This study examines age-related changes in mineralized cartilage and subchondral bone in rat tibiae, revealing structural and material alterations linked to joint degeneration.

The paper investigates the mechanical properties of cement lines compared to bone, finding they are stiffer and harder but have different mineral-mechanics relationships due to particle morphology.

This study investigates CL mineralization in human femoral samples, finding that CL mineral content correlates with surrounding bone mineral content and increases over time but at a slower rate than the osteon.

This paper investigates the structure and mechanics of the sheep calcaneal enthesis to inform scaffold design for tissue engineering.
