This volume highlights new insights into the mechanisms of bone
development, including cellular and mechanical factors, receptors,
and signaling pathways and their role in both normative and
pathologic states of bone.
The first of two volumes, the volume comprises three sections:
(1) insights into skeletal development, including, among others,
novel ideas about the role of the perichondrium in skeletogenesis,
current studies on joint formation, and the human consequences of
dysregulated morphogenic signaling; (2) a traditional series of
papers, both reviews and original research articles on bone
cells--osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes--in relation to
mechanisms underlying their formation, fate, and function; and (3)
new information on the role of hormones, both steroids and
peptides, as well as cytokines and the central nervous system in
regulating skeletal remodeling.
