There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Micro-computed angiography reconstructions of blood vessel formation in the area of the defect (top) when it experienced no mechanical force for seven weeks and (bottom) when mechanical forces were exerted on the injury site beginning after four weeks for a duration of three weeks. With delayed loading, the researchers observed a reduction in quantity and connectivity of blood vessels, but the average vessel thickness increased. (Click image for high-resolution version.
