Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Skeletal health is orchestrated through a delicate balance of bone formation and resorption, maintaining the biological and structural integrity of the skeleton. Heightened disruption of this balance leads to skeletal disorders such as osteoporosis, a condition which presents a significant healthcare burden, particularly in susceptible populations.
Extensive research has focused on understanding the critical role of diet on musculoskeletal tissue health, and the influence of nutrient supplementation as impactful to the viability and functionality of bone-remodeling cells has garnered increased interest for its potential support for and improvement of bone metabolism and health. Identifying how human diet could be optimized to preserve musculoskeletal health and suppress the onset of skeletal decline and osteoporosis remains of central importance in the field.
Our Special Issue, “Dietary Interventions for the Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis”, solicits submissions for original research, reviews, and meta-analyses examining the effects of dietary contributions as preventative or therapeutic interventions for the improvement of bone formation by reestablishing balanced bone turnover and suppressing bone loss. Elucidating the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing these effects may offer valuable guidance for the prevention and treatment of metabolic bone diseases.
We look forward to your contribution to this engaging and critical area of research.
