Bone marrow is one of the largest organs in the human body, enclosing adipocytes,
hematopoietic stem cells, which are responsible for blood cell production, and mesenchymal …

Osteoporosis is becoming an increasingly important public health issue, and effective
treatments to prevent fragility fractures are available. Osteoporosis imaging is of critical …

The importance of the vascular supply for bone is well-known to orthopaedists but is still
rather overlooked within the wider field of skeletal research. Blood supplies oxygen …

Recently, bone marrow endothelial cells (BMECs) were found to play an important role in
regulating bone homeostasis. However, few studies utilized BMECs to treat bone metabolic …

Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disease with a high prevalence worldwide, characterized
by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, predisposing an individual to fragility …

Bone homeostasis is profoundly affected by local pH and oxygen tension. It has long been
recognised that the skeleton contains a large reserve of alkaline mineral (hydroxyapatite) …

Background: The current consensus in the literature is that the anterolateral branch of the
anterior humeral circumflex artery provides the main blood supply to the humeral head …

Bone provides nurturing microenvironments for an array of cell types that coordinate
important physiological functions of the skeleton, such as energy metabolism, mineral …

Osteoporosis is characterized by a decreased bone mass and quality resulting in an
increased fracture risk. Quantitative imaging methods are critical in the diagnosis and follow …

In a healthy body, homeostatic actions of osteoclasts and osteoblasts maintain the integrity
of the skeletal system. When cellular activities of osteoclasts and osteoblasts become …
