Computational Investigation on the Biomechanical Responses of the Osteocytes to the Compressive Stimulus: A Poroelastic Model

<div>One-eighth symmetry model applied in the 3-dimensional finite element meshing analyses of the idealized osteocyte-lacunar-canalicular system, showing the geometric locations of extracellular matrix (ECM), perilacunar matrix (PCM), osteocyte cell body, canaliculi, and cell processes.</div>
