About this book
A cutting-edge review of the biochemical, physiological, pharmacological, genetic, and molecular interactions involved in the development and homeostasis of the skeleton. Topics range from chondrogenesis, chondrocytes, and cartilage to skeletal dysmorphology, and include the control of skeletal development, osteoblastic cell differentiation, and bone induction, growth, remodeling, and mineralization. The authors' understanding of bone physiology-and how it is modified throughout all the stages of life-offers novel approaches for improving the endurance of load-bearing implants, achieving life-long optimal bone strength, overcoming microgravity situations (space flight), and hastening the healing of fractures, osteotomies, and antrodeses.
Reviews
"...a valuable book...Every substantial biomedical library should have this book." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal
"Very detailed, clinical and laden with biological terminology, which makes the preface a must for new readers." -E-STREAMS
"Authoritative and up-to-date... a cutting-edge survey of diverse critical issues in bone biology." - Clinical Laboratory International
