Abstract:
Cortical bone, constituting the outer shell of long bones, is continuously renewed by bone cells in response to daily stimuli. This process, known as bone remodelling, is essential for proper bone functioning in both physiological and pathological conditions. Classical bone remodelling models do not, or only implicitly do, take into account physico-chemical phenomena, focussing on the mechanosensitivity property of the tissue. The aim of this paper is to carry out an investigation of the multiphysical phenomena occuring in bone life. Using a recent multiscale model combining piezoelectricity and electrokinetics to poromechanics, the usual viewpoint of bone remodelling models is questioned and new research avenues are proposed.

The Extracellular Matrix
In order to maintain tissue organization, many animal cells are surrounded by structural molecules that make up the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, the molecules in the ECM maintain the structural integrity of tissue as well as the remarkable specific properties of certain tissues.
Composition of the Extracellular Matrix
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is commonly composed of ground substance, a gel-like fluid, fibrous components, and many structurally and functionally diverse...
