Geometric and Material Contributions to Whole Bone Structural Behavior in GDF-7-Deficient Mice

The growth/differentiation factors (GDFs) are a subfamily of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) known to play a role in a variety of skeletal processes. Previous work using the brachypod mouse demonstrated that mice deficient in GDF-5 have long bones with diminished material properties and ash conte...
