Graphical Abstract The study of the risk of fractures in cancer patients with spine metastases is important to improve the quality of life of patients. Currently, the risk of fracture in these patients is evaluated using clinical scoring systems that account for information about the location of the cancer, the pain, and other qualitative factors. While this approac...

The longitudinal effects of ovariectomy on the morphometric, densitometric and mechanical properties in the murine tibia: A comparison between two mouse strains

Posted on by MultiSim
A thorough assessment of any prospective animal model of human disease is necessary before the substantial investment of resources into a preclinical study of potential therapies. Oestrogen-deficiency and related bone loss following ovariectomy is a common animal model of osteoporosis. In this study we quantified the effects of ovariectomy on the tibia bone morphometric, densi...
