Osteoclastic bone resorption has been evaluated in vitro by release of tritiated collagen fragments from 3H-proline prelabeled bone particles incubated for 48 hours in presence of avian isolated osteoclasts. Cells were co-incubated with periosteum-free chick calvarial fragments by interposition of 0.4 micron millipore membrane transwells, in presence or absence of 10(-8) M 1.34 bovine parathyroid hormone (PTH). Results demonstrated that i) calvaria exert a stimulating effect over osteoclastic bone resorption which was 1.8 fold enhanced with respect to controls (p less than 0.001). ii) the stimulating effect is exerted by calvarium-derived soluble molecules capable of crossing the 0.4 micron millipore membrane interposed between calvarial fragments and osteoclasts, iii) in this experimental system no further enhancement of calvarial stimulating effect is operated by PTH treatment.

Unlabelled: We investigated the efficacy of romosozumab in premenopausal women with low bone mass. Romosozumab substantially increased bone mineral density and trabecular bone score in these women, aligning with its proven therapeutic benefits for postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Purpose: Romosozumab, an anti-sclerostin antibody, is a promising anabolic agent that increases bone formation and decreases bone resorption.

Bone turnover assessment and monitoring are essential for chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated bone care. Patients with CKD suffer from significantly elevated fracture risk due to abnormally high or low bone turnover, which requires diametrically opposite treatments informed by patient-specific bone turnover data. However, a reliable, accessible, non-invasive bone turnover assessment and monitoring tool remains an unmet clinical need.

The epidemiology of femoral fractures is changing, with more femoral shaft fractures linked to high-risk physical exercise by an older population. Vitamin D given during pregnancy for the mother's health could benefit the child. Zoledronic acid is the most effective bisphosphonate.

Periodontitis is a chronic periodontal inflammatory disease caused by periodontal pathogens commonly seen in adults. Eupalinolide B (EB) is a sesquiterpenoid natural product extracted from Eupatorium lindleyanum and has been reported as a potential drug for cancers and immune disorders. Here, we explored the ameliorative effects and underlying molecular mechanism of EB on periodontitis for the first time.

Biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) is a bioceramic widely used in hard tissue engineering for bone replacement. BCP consists of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) - a highly soluble and resorbable phase - and hydroxyapatite (HA) - a highly stable phase, creating a balance between solubility and resorption, optimally supporting cell interactions and tissue growth. The β-TCP/HA ratio significantly affects the resorption, solubility, and cellular response, with a higher β-TCP ratio increasing resorption due to its solubility.
