We’re excited to share that the INSIDE-BONE Project has officially launched with a successful kick-off meeting just a few days ago! Funded by the European Research Council (ERC), this ambitious project explores the complex interplay between mechanical loading, bone growth, and femoral morphology in both typically developing children and those with torsional deformities. The international, […]
