Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAbout the Internal Structure of a Bone and its Functional RoleAntonio Apicella, Raffaella Aversa, Francesco Tamburrino, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe human skeleton has the primary role of supporting all the organs that make up the body and at the same time to protect them permanently. It is made up so that it can hold and hold together all internal human organs, protecting them permanently, but also allowing them to move and exercise all their functionalities. This paper wants to … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 26 May 2018 · 8,402 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMechanically Stimulated Osteoblast Cells GrowthRaffaella Aversa, Antonio Apicella, Francesco Tamburrino, Florian Ion Tiberiu PetrescuThe bones need to be built and then permanently restored to keep them functioning properly. Considering the multiple bone functions, their vitality is essential both to maintain the body and move it and to maintain its health and vigor. When most bones begin to age and have no vital function, the man also begins to age, lose water, minerals, electrolytes, … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 19 Jun 2018 · 7,882 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractChronic Kidney Disease-Mineral Bone Disoder: Fibroblast Growth Factor-23 and Phosphate MetabolismWisit Cheungpasitporn, Pongsathorn Kue-A-Pai, Patompong Ungprasert et al.Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a growing epidemic in the United States. There are hormonal changes that develop long before the mineral changes in patients with CKD occur. Increased Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) levels first become evident when the estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is below 60 mL/min/1.73m2. High serum phosphate stimulates the secretion of the Fibroblast Growth Factor 23 (FGF-23) … …Current Research in Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 4 May 2013 · 6,877 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSclerostin: A Novel Key to Bone and Dental TreatmentGalli Carlo, Lumetti Simone, Manfredi Edoardo et al.Problem statement: Tooth loss can induce dramatical remodeling of alveolar bone because of mechanical loading impairment and strategies to help maintain adequate bone levels for subsequent therapies are sorely needed. Recent discoveries have shown that osteocytes, matrix-embedded cells in bone, respond to mechanical stimulation by modulating the expression of the Sost gene, which encodes for the protein sclerostin. This protein … …Current Research in Dentistry, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 1 Jan 2013 · 8,157 accessesView PDF Cite
