Despite the growing number of publications in the field of implant dentistry, there are limited
studies to date investigating the biology and metabolism of bone healing around dental …

The use of genetically manipulated mouse models, gene and protein discovery and the
cataloguing of genetic mutations have each allowed us to obtain new insights into skeletal …

While blood vessels play important roles in bone homeostasis and repair, fundamental
aspects of vascular function in the skeletal system remain poorly understood. Here we show …

Osteopenia/osteoporosis, sarcopenia, and obesity are commonly observed in the process of
aging, and recent evidence suggests a potential interconnection of these syndromes with …

Although long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 region of the hippocampus is initiated
postsynaptically by the influx of Ca2+ through N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor channels, the …

We describe a sinus, referred to as a bone remodeling compartment (BRC), which is
intimately associated with cancellous bone remodeling. The compartment is lined on its …

Nitric oxide (NO) is a free radical which has important effects on bone cell function. The
endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) is widely expressed in bone on a …

Renal osteodystrophy, the term used to describe the skeletal complications of end-stage
renal disease, is a multifactorial disorder of bone remodeling. The actions of some of the …

▪ Abstract Nitric oxide (NO) regulates numerous physiological processes, including
neurotransmission, smooth muscle contractility, platelet reactivity, and the cytotoxic activity of …

Bones serve several mechanical functions, including acoustic amplification in the middle
ear, shielding vital organs from trauma, and serving as levers for muscles to contract against …
