Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bone development continues throughout adulthood. Even after adult stature is attained, bone development continues for the repair of fractures and for remodeling, to meet changing lifestyles. The repair potential of bone and its surrounding microenvironment persists throughout adulthood, enabling the restoration of tissue to its homeostatic functional state; however, the ability to repair bone diminishes substantially during ageing. This Special Issue will provide key insights into the mechanisms that maintain and regenerate bone during homeostasis and repair to aid in the study of bone repair processes. An increased understanding of bone development, as well as normal and aberrant bone repair, has important therapeutic implications for the treatment of bone disease and ageing-related degeneration.
This Special Issue focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in bone growth, development remodeling and repair. The topics to be covered might include, but are not limited to, the differentiation regulation of bone formation, molecular signaling pathways necessary for bone growth and repair, key genes, transcription factors, hormones and other topics.
