IntroductionBones are subjected to a variety of mechanical loads duringdaily activities. In the nineteenth century, Julius Wolffproposed that bones adapt their mass and 3D structure tothe loading conditions in order optimize load-bearing capacity, this process is driven bymechanical stress [1]. For past centuries, an increasingnumber theoretical experimental results reveal thatosteocytes pivotal cells orchestrating bio-mechanical regulation bone structure, whichis accomplished by remodeling...
