Piezoelectric actuator: searching inspiration in nature for osteoblast stimulation
Bone is a composite with piezoelectric properties. Bone mass and structure are dependent on mechanical stress and adaptive response at cellular and tissue levels, but the role piezoelectricity plays in bone physiology is yet to be understood. Physical activity enhances bone density, through mechanic...
