Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bone is a dynamic tissue that undergoes continuous remodelling thanks to the activity of bone resorbing cells, the osteoclasts, and bone forming cells, the osteoblasts. Bone remodelling is orchestrated by the osteocytes, a process that can be regulated by different local and systemic factors, including hormones, physical activity, genetics, and nutrition. Special attention will be given to the role of these factors on bone metabolism in health and diseases. Mechanisms underlying bone metabolism are essential to guarantee its health.
Thus, manuscripts covering the following topics will be accepted:
- Pathways active in bone health and diseases;
- Role of different bone cells;
- Nutrients and bone metabolism;
- In vivo models;
- New therapeutic approaches for bone diseases.
Research papers, reviews, and methodology papers are welcome.
Dr. Giacomina Brunetti
