Out of the many aspects of this exceedingly complex process, some particular stages are selected for which mathematical modelling appears as both feasible and desirable. In this way, a number of open questions are formulated whose study seems to require interaction among mathematical analysis and biological experimentationengjournal articlehttp://www.hindawi.com/journals/cmmm/2005/197567/abs/http://www.hindawi.comrestricted access51-76519.87Bone formationmathematical modellinghuman skeletonskeletal morphogenesisBiomatemáticasInvestigación operativa (Matemáticas)2404 Biomatemáticas1207 Investigación Operativa
