Description
Basic and Applied Bone Biology, Second Edition provides an overview of skeletal biology from the molecular level to the organ level, including cellular control, interaction and response; adaptive responses to various external stimuli; the interaction of the skeletal system with other metabolic processes in the body, and the effect of various disease processes on the skeleton. The book includes chapters that address how the skeleton can be evaluated through the use of various imaging technologies, biomechanical testing, histomorphometric analysis, and the use of genetically-modified animal models. It delves into the important details of the chapter topics, ensuring a solid understanding of the basics of bone biology. Bone biology is an established area of research and education, but remarkably there is no accessible graduate level appropriate text or reference focused specifically on the biology of the skeletal system. Larger reference books exist, but these are too detailed and too expensive for new researchers and clinicians to the field of bone biology. Smaller references attempt to act as textbooks, but they are extremely broad in scope and treat many subjects superficially. Basic and Applied Bone Biology, Second Edition fills this gap. If you are a bone biology researcher who is also training undergraduate and graduate students in the lab, you will use this book constantly - to orient new students in the basics of the field and as a background reference for many of the technical aspects of qualification in bone biology (eg., mechanics, histomorphometry, genetic modification, biochemistry, etc). Presents an in-depth overview of skeletal biology from the molecular to the organ level Offers "refresher" level content for clinicians or researchers outside their areas of expertise Includes updated and complete references Incorporates expanded study questions at the end of each chapter for further exploration of the topic Covers topics relevant to a modern course in skeletal biology
