Rodent spine vertebrae mechanical properties/testing?

[Tim Bhatnagar]

Hi,

Does anyone have a good lead on journals, or a text, regarding the mechanical properties of the rodent spine? I'm looking particularly for separate vertebral and disc properties, in the cervical region (though any rodent spine data would be appreciated).

I've spent a good chunk of time looking online, but to no avail.

Thanks in advance!
