Bone Abstracts

Our understanding of skeletal biology has revealed bone as a tissue under complex regulatory control, with numerous systems influencing bone development and remodeling. In contrast, the regulatory output from bone tissue is very minimal. However, skeletal research is currently undergoing a period of marked expansion. One aspect in particular is the relationship between bone and fat metabolism. In addition to well-defined responses to weight bearing, emerging evidence indicates...
