Announces a
BONE CELL AND TISSUE MECHANICS COURSE
July 19-23, 1999
The goal of this course will be to review the entire area of bone cell
and tissue mechanics, with an emphasis on bone remodeling. Besides
being informative, it is planned that the course will function as a
forum for the exchange of data, philosophy, and ideas across
disciplinary divides and so provide further stimulus for a
comprehensive approach to the problems of bone mechanics.

COURSE DESCRIPTION
Bone mechanics is considered here to include the mechanical behavior
of whole bones as structural elements, the mechanical behavior of bone
tissue as a material, the response of bone cells to mechanical and
electrokinetic stimuli and the physiological significance of the
mechanical behavior. Specialists in orthopaedics, dentistry,
biochemistry and molecular and cellular biology as well as biomechanics
are involved in the bone cell and tissue mechanics. This topic has only
formalized into a distinct discipline in the last twenty years. During
this period the salient mechanical properties of bone have been
determined, but the salient mechanical properties of bone cells are
only now being studied.
Bone remodeling is the primary research area in bone mechanics. Bone
remodeling is a term used to describe the phenomenon of the adaptation
of bone tissue to the character of its customary load bearing. That is
to say, bone changes its shape, its apparent density, and its stiffness
to its environmental load. In engineering terminology, bone is an
optimum composite and the skeletal system is an optimal structure. The
cellular mechanisms that constitute the mechanosensory system in bone
tissue and drive the adaptive remodeling are unknown at the present
time, but there are several promising candidates for the mechanosensory
system.
The subject of bone mechanics is basic to the design of orthopaedic
implanted prostheses such as artificial hips, knees, finger joints,
etc. The engineering design of these orthopaedic appliances is less
than thirty years old and still in a state of evolution. It is a major
manufacturing industry.
The goal of this course will be to review the entire area of bone cell
and tissue mechanics, with an emphasis on bone remodeling. Besides
being informative, it is hoped that the course will function as a forum
for the exchange of data, philosophy, and ideas across disciplinary
divides and so provide further stimulus for a comprehensive approach to
the problems of bone mechanics. We expect an audience as diverse in
background as the lecturers, that is to say spanning the spectrum from
biologists and veterinarians to structural and biomedical engineers.
