Published: October 2020

Bones as an alive organ consist of about 70% mineral and 30% organic component. About 200 million people are suffering from osteopenia and osteoporosis around the world. There are multiple ways of protecting bone from endogenous and exogenous risk factors. Planned physical activity is another useful way for protecting bone health. It has been investigated that arranged exercise would effectively regulate bone metabolism. Until now, a number of systems have discovered how exercise could help bone health. Previous studies reported different mechanisms of the effect of exercise on bone health by modulation of bone remodeling. However, the regulation of RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway in exercise and physical performance as one of the most important remodeling systems is not considered comprehensive in previous evidence. Therefore, the aim of this review is to clarify exercise influence on bone modeling and remodeling, with a concentration on its role in regulating RANKL/RANK/OPG pathway.

Article Synopsis
  • Periodontitis is a serious gum disease that can cause tooth loss and harm to gums.
  • Scientists used a special medicine called tetracycline and combined it with tiny particles to help treat this disease effectively.
  • Their new treatment showed good results by killing harmful bacteria, reducing inflammation, and helping bone health, making it a promising solution for people with gum problems.

Background: Periodontitis preceded by gingivitis is the most common form of periodontal disease and occurs due to the interaction of microorganisms present in the complex bacterial aggregates of dental plaque biofilm and their metabolism products with periodontal tissues. Histamine is a heterocyclic biogenic amine acting via four types of receptors. Histamine H receptors act as presynaptic auto/heteroreceptors to regulate the release of histamine and other neurotransmitters.

Purpose: Estrogen deficiency is the main reason of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Eldecalcitol (ED-71) is a new active vitamin D analogue clinically used in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis. We aimed to investigate whether EphrinB2-EphB4 and RANKL/RANK/OPG signaling cooperate in mediating the process of osteoporosis by ED-71.

Numerical models of bone remodelling have traditionally been used to perform in silico tests of bone loss in postmenopausal women and also to simulate the response to different drug treatments. These models simulate the menopausal oestrogen decline by altering certain signalling pathways. However, they do not consider the simultaneous effect that ageing can have on cell function and bone remodelling, and thus on bone loss.

Article Synopsis
  • Bones provide support, movement coordination, and play key roles in mineral balance and blood cell formation, while the immune system protects and regulates body functions through various organs, cells, and molecules.
  • The emerging field of osteoimmunology bridges the gap between bone science and immunology, highlighting how immune functions influence bone health and offering new insights into bone diseases.
  • Recent research emphasizes the impact of immune signaling pathways on bone health and the significance of exercise in enhancing bone immunity and reconstruction, particularly in the context of autoimmune and infectious diseases.
