Anisotropic Young-Laplace-equation provides insight into tissue growth
Peter Fratzl, F. Dieter Fischer, Gerald A. Zickler +1
Growing tissues are highly dynamic, flowing on sufficiently long time-scales due to cell proliferation, migration and tissue remodeling. As a consequence, living tissues can be app…
Globular structure of the hypermineralized tissue in human femoral neck
Qiong Wang, Tengteng Tang, David Cooper +4
Bone becomes more fragile with ageing. Among many structural changes, a thin layer of highly mineralized and brittle tissue covers part of the external surface of the thin femoral…
Additives Influence the Phase Behavior of Calcium Car-bonate Solution by a Cooperative Ion-association Process
Zhaoyong Zou, Iryna Polishchuk, Luca Bertinetti +4
Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) has been widely found in biomineralization, both as a transient precursor and a stable phase, but how organisms accurately control its formation a…
The Small World of Osteocytes: Connectomics of the Lacuno-Canalicular Network in Bone
Philip Kollmannsberger, Michael Kerschnitzki, Felix Repp +3
Osteocytes and their cell processes reside in a large, interconnected network of voids pervading the mineralized bone matrix of most vertebrates. This osteocyte lacuno-canalicular…
Elastic Response of Mesoporous Silicon to Capillary Pressures in the Pores
Gennady Y. Gor, Luca Bertinetti, Noam Bernstein +2
We study water adsorption-induced deformation of a monolithic, mesoporous silicon membrane traversed by independent channels of 8 nm diameter. We focus on the elastic constan…
Dynamics of mesoscopic precipitate lattices in phase separating alloys under external load
R. Weinkamer, H. Gupta, P. Fratzl +1
We investigate, via three-dimensional atomistic computer simulations, phase separation in an alloy under external load. A regular two-dimensional array of cylindrical precipitates,…
Kinetics of Joint Ordering and Decomposition in Binary Alloys
V. Gorentsveig, P. Fratzl, J. L. Lebowitz
We study phase segregation in a model alloy undergoing both ordering and decomposition, using computer simulations of Kawasaki exchange dynamics on a square lattice. Following a qu…
