Congratulations to Lamya Karim on the publication of her recent manuscripts in Bone! The first manuscript compares cyclic and impact-based reference point indentation measurements in human cadaveric tibia. The second manuscriptdescribes the effect of type 2 diabetes-related non-enzymatic glycation on bone biomechanical properties.

Congratulations to Jack Meng and co-authors on the publication of their manuscript in the Journal of Biomechanical Engineering! The manuscript describes a novel method to incorporate realistic intervertebral stiffnesses in a musculoskeletal model of the lumbar spine. Here is a link to the paper.
