Skeletal Biology and Medicine IIBone and cartilage homeostasis and bone disease, Volume 1240\nAuthor(s): Mone Zaidi\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: John Wiley and Sons Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Wiley-Blackwell\nISBN-13: 9781573318563, 978-1573318563\nSynopsis\nThe volume features current basic, clinical, and translational research on aspects of skeletal morphogenesis and remodeling in health and disease. Papers survey vital new insights into the mechanisms of bone development and restructuring, including cellular and mechanical triggers, receptors and signaling pathways. Also covered are the effects of other physiological systems and disease states, such as immune system inflammation, diabetes, infection, and cancer on musculoskeletal health. Recent findings are shaping therapeutic directions that focus on both anti-resorptive and anabolic therapies. Basic scientists, clinical investigators, and clinicians with interests spanning endocrinology, physiology, cell biology, pathology.
