Dynamic structure and composition of bone investigated by nanoscale infrared spectroscopy.

Bone is a highly organized tissue in which each structural level influences the macroscopic and microscopic mechanical behavior. In particular, the quantity, quality, and distribution of the different bone components, i.e. collagen matrix and hydroxyapatite crystals, are associated with bone strengt...
