Osteoporosis, a disease endemic in Western society, typically reflects an imbalance in
skeletal turnover so that bone resorption exceeds bone formation. Bone resorption is the …

The adult skeleton regenerates by temporary cellular structures that comprise teams of
juxtaposed osteoclasts and osteoblasts and replace periodically old bone with new. A …
