Bone is a highly specialized form of connective tissue consisting of org anic and inorganic materials. Bone is continuously remodeled by bone forming osteoblasts and resorbing ost eoclast . In terrestrial vertebrates, these two activities are strictl y ba anced and adapt the shape of bone to the local stress with limited calcium intake from foods. However, the cell based-adaptation mechanism underlying this system have not been well considered. Recently, we have found that human mesenchymal stem cells strongly stimulated towards osteoblasti c lineage form a condensation pattern similar to Turing patterns observed in reaction-diffusion models. We c onstructed a hypothetical model of bone remodeling (iBone), by coupling the bone forming and resorbing ac t vities based on the reaction-diffusion model weighed by local stress. When an externa l mechanical stress was applied to a sample model, stimulated bone formation and subsequent activation of bone resorption efficiently adapted the shape of it to the given stress, and created flat stress distribution. iB one could also repair fractures which caused uneven stress distribution. The efficacy of i Bone proposes a principal model how bone cells can form a cooperative system that adapt the microst ru ture of bone to the voluntary mechanical loads; and, suggests that element based-parallel computi ng system, such as reaction-diffusion system, can be applied for designing efficient stress adapta tion models.
