About this book
This book reflects the meteoric increase in knowledge regarding bone remodeling including molecular understanding of
osteoclast development, regulatory molecules such as cytokines, pathophysiology and pharmaceutical development to
treat osteoclast function. Rapid publication of an up-to-date volume addressing these issues by experts in the field, an
asset to any library of clinical endocrinologists and rheumatologists, is a valuable read for those entering the scientific
arena of bone remodeling research. It integrates recent technological advances with foundation data to provide a
comprehensive view of bone resorption, and also links information gained from the genetic and molecular to the
physiological and clinical levels. It is addressed to clinical practitioners, nutrition scientists, researchers and students,
who seek a fundamental understanding of this important subject. An invaluable publication for the community of medical
specialists- internists, endocrinologists, nephrologists, orthopaedists- as well as dental, paramedical and nursing
practitioners.
Written for:
Bone scientists including senior and junior level, osteologists, rheumatologists, endocrinologists, clinical practitioners and
graduate students, particularly those entering the field of bone biology
