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 tomography reconstructions of bone formation (left) when the injury site experienced no mechanical force for seven weeks and (right) when mechanical forces were exerted on the injury site beginning after four weeks for a duration of three weeks. Study results showed that bone formation improved by 20 percent with delayed loading compared to when no force was applied, and strong tissue biomaterial integration was evident.
