Introduction to OsteoporosisOsteoporosis is a systemic multi-causal skeletal disease that is prone to fractures due to changes in systemic bone mass and microstructure of bone tissue, resulting in increased bone fragility. ...
Collagen is mainly found in connective tissues of the human body such as skin, internal organs, tendons, cornea, cartilage and bones. Collagen is a very important protein in the human body, accounting for about 30% of the total protein content. ...
Osteogenesis, or new bone formation, begins in the early stages of embryonic development and continues postnatally until skeletal maturity is reached in early adulthood. Osteogenesis reoccurs in the event of bone trauma, such as a fracture or surgically created defect. Bone mass can also increase in response to chronic weight ...
Abstract Introduction: Few data exist on the effects of bone-targeted exercise on geometric and biomechanical indices of bone strength in men. ...
Physically inactive, otherwise healthy, young adult women (18-30 years) with below average bone mass (T-score ≤ 0) were recruited as part of the OPTIMA-Ex trial. Testing included DXA- and pQCT-derived measures of bone mass and indices of bone strength and QUS-derived measures of bone quality ...
Wnt/β-catenin signaling also plays a critical role in bone formation. Single Krm mutants show normal bone formation and bone mass, while double mutants show increased bone volume and bone formation parameters. ...
