"A preliminary study exploring the mechanical properties of normal and Mgp-deficient mouse femurs during early growth", Proceedings of the iMeche, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medecine (2022)

The database contains raw data of the bending response of 32 samples (8 groups of 4 samples), one summary file containing information associated with the tested samples, and 16 vtk files corresponding to reconstructed meshes prepared for Finite Element analysis, containing Hounsfield Unit (HU) issued from the CT image as well as Bone Mineral Desnity (BMD) issued from calibration. It also contains the python script required to read and plot the data The name of the file corresponding to the postnatal age (e.g. P14 for 14 days postnatal) as well as the MGP gene expression (MM for -/- and PP for +/+)
