Description
Written by well-known experts in their respective fields, this book synthesizes recent work on the biology of bone cells at the molecular
level. Cellular and Molecular Biology of Bone covers the differentiation of these cells, the regulation of their growth
and metabolism, and their death resorption. The authors' special comprehensive treatment of the cellular and molecular mechanisms of
bone metabolism makes this book a unique and valuable tool. Cellular and Molecular Biology of Bone provides interested
readers-with concise state-of-the-art reviews in bone biology that will enlarge their scope and increase their appreciation of the field.
Research in this area has intensified recently due to the increasing incidence of osteoporosis. The editor hopes an understanding of
the basic biology of this disease will prove relevant to its prevention and treatment.
Audience
Researchers in developmental biology, physiology, endocrinology, cell and molecular biology, and medical researchers in cancer and aging.
