Bone Structure and Function: Organization & composition of bone, bone modelling and remodelling, bone cells

It is not hard to gain a working understanding of the composition and function of bone that can offer useful insights into the causes of common bone disorders such as osteoporosis. Osteoblasts are the bone forming cells. They work in teams to lay down type 1 collagen fibres (similar to the collagen in skin and internal organs). The newly formed collagen in bone is initially soft and flexible. Osteoblasts possess the special ability to mineralise this collagen with a form of ca...

Pathophysiology of Bone Loss: Growth and loss, changes in microarchitecture, molecular mechanism, hormonal regulation, nutritional influence

Obermayer-Pietsch Barbara

Bone is a dynamic tissue as well as an endocrine organ, with a broad range of functions, such as static balance and locomotion, protection of internal organs, hematopoiesis, mineral storage and hormonal regulation. Bone growth and bone loss and functional changes during lifetime are important factors for human health.Metabolic bone diseases may occur in many circumstances via a disturbed balance of the complex cellular interactions involved in bone micro...
