Molecular nanomechanics of nascent bone: fibrillar toughening by mineralization (2007, background): “A simple schematic diagram is given of the hierarchical structure of mineralized collagen fibrils, forming the most basic building block of bone [1] [3].”
The evolution of Metriorhynchoidea (mesoeucrocodylia, thalattosuchia): an integrated approach using geometric morphometrics, analysis of disparity, and biomechanics (2010, background): “Nevertheless, the process of remodelling induces adaptations to applied loads at various structural levels within bone, whether it is at the level of overall morphology or microstructure (see Currey, 2002).”
Development-based revision of bone tissue classification: the importance of semantics for science (2014, background): “…as an intermediate between woven and lamellar bone in both the degree of organization and the rate of deposition (Francillon-Vieillot et al., 1990; Currey, 2002), although the appropriate meaning of this ‘intermediate’ organization level has never been clarified or discussed in any detail.”
Ontogenetic stages in the long bone histology of sauropod dinosaurs (2008, background): “Thus, incompletely filled (‘‘young’’) large secondary osteons (Currey 2002) develop mainly between larger erosion cavities of the remodeling zone and are closely associated with the medullary cavity (Fig.”
