Sclerostin and Its Associations With Bone Metabolism Markers and Sex Hormones in Healthy Community-Dwelling Elderly Individuals and Adolescents

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2020
Sclerostin is an important regulator of bone mass involving Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. We aimed to obtain the profile of serum sclerostin level and explore its associations with bone metabolism markers and sex hormones in healthy community-dwelling

Importance of bone health in bone lengthening

Journal of the Pediatric Orthopaedic Society of North America
Distraction osteogenesis describes the process of growing new bone ("regenerate") to correct limb length discrepancies or limb deformities. Whether pure lengthening or a combination of lengthening and straightening is involved, this represents one of the highest anabolic demands on bone in orthopedic surgery.

Comparative Evaluation of Hemodiafiltration, Hemoperfusion, and Standard Hemodialysis on Efficacy, Inflammatory Control, Dialysis Adequacy, and Safety in End‐Stage Renal Disease: A Prospective Observational Study

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Chronic micro‐inflammation in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) is a significant driver of cardiovascular complications and diminished quality of life. While standard hemodialysis (SHD) effectively manages small‐molecule clearance, its ability to remove medium‐to‐large uremic toxins—the primary catalysts of systemic ...

A systems approach to understanding bone cell interactions in health and disease [PDF]

, 2012
Bone is an important organ performing three essential physiological functions: mechanical support, mineral homeostasis (such as calcium and phosphate) and support of haematopoiesis. In fact, bone diseases in the elderly are associated with high morbidity
