Hierarchical organization of bone in three dimensions: A twist of twists

Structural hierarchy of bone – observed across multiple scales and in three dimensions (3D) – is essential to its mechanical performance. While the mineralized extracellular matrix of bone consists predominantly of carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite, type I collagen fibrils, water, and noncollagen...
