This volume is designed to provide an understanding of current and
potential therapies for osteoporosis. The opening chapter
introduces the cells of bone and their interactions. Several
following chapters describe factors affecting bone including
systemic hormones with significant effects on bone, and local
mediators including growth factors, prostaglandins, cytokines and
chemokines. Topics that have commanded particular attention
recently are calcium, FGF-23, nervous system bone interactions.
Drugs that cause bone loss provide important information on
mechanism as well as therapeutic considerations. An overview of the
genetics of bone disorders and a discussion of the pathophysiology
of osteoporosis establish the clinical context. The final chapters
discuss current and potential osteoporosis treatments.
