Increased expression of MMPs is detected at different stages of mammalian development, from embryonic implantation to morphogenesis of different tissues and organs, including lung, bone and blood vessels. MMPs are involved in vascular smooth muscle growth, proliferation, migration, and relaxation. ...
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. ...
ABL = abaloparatide; ALN = alendronate; vBMD = volumetric bone mineral density; DXA = dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; PBO = placebo. 3.3 Bone structural parameters The ABL/ALN group showed greater improvements in bone structural parameters that are considered relevant to bone strength. ...
METHODS AND RATIONALE It is my personal preference to place a wider and longer fixture in the posterior maxilla where bone quality and density is considered less than ideal and where the highest incidences of implant failures occur. ...
It can additionally serve as a information for positioning the drill whilst measuring the thickness of the buccal bone, thereby preventing bone resorption and reducing the burden on the patient. In addition, secure drill positions can be guided to a range of cases with the aid of combining different surgical instruments (e.g., function guide, ...
Alendronic acid or Alendronate Sodium is a bisphosphonate drug that inhibits osteoclast-mediated bone resorption. Biphosphates work by binding to the bone and preventing calcium from being removed by osteoclasts. This drug is used to prevent and treat osteoporosis as well as several other bone diseases. Alendronate Sodium is sold ...
Although basal osteoclast number in null animals is normal the total eroded surface is significantly reduced, suggesting that the resorptive defect is due to attenuated osteoclast activity. Consistent with this hypothesis, ultrastructural analysis reveals that Rab3D–/– osteoclasts exhibit irregular ruffled borders. Furthermore, while overexpression of wild-type, constitutively ...
