Abstract:
The long bones grow by the process of endochondral ossification, which occurs at the growth plate. This process is regulated by biological factors and mechanical factors. The biological factors which contribute to endochondral ossification process are genes, hormones, nutrients etc. The mechanical factor is the load acting on the bone. The major forces on the bone are due to joint contact load and muscle forces, which induce stresses in the bone. Carter and Wong proposed in a theory that cyclic or intermittent octahedral shear stress promotes the bone growth and cyclic or intermittent hydrosta

Abstract:
[Truncated abstract] Bone remodeling is an important process to maintain mechanical integrity. It is accomplished by two important steps, bone resorption followed by new bone formation. Osteoclasts and osteoblasts are the principal cells in bone resorption and bone formation, respectively. A multitude of local and systemic factors regulates this process by controlling the cellular activities in bone remodeling compartments (BRC). An imbalance of osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone destruction will result in the development of skeletal diseases. Recent studies suggested that angio

A new model of a critically-sized segmental femoral bone defect in rats was developed to enable in vivo imaging and facilitate post-mortem mechanical testing of samples. The critically-sized nature of the model was assessed and confirmed. The efficacy of sustained co-delivery of osteogenic (BMP-2 and TGF- Ò3) and angiogenic (VEGF) growth factors in promoting functional bone repair was assessed. Effects of scaffold modification in terms of geometry and composition were evaluated. The results indicated that co-delivery of BMP-2 and TGF- Ò3 resulted in a dose-dependent improvement in functional b

In vivo studies of mechanical loading on bone have suggested that load magnitude is one of the parameters that play a vital role in bone adaptation. This study examined how longitudinal growth of immature rat metatarsals is affected by different load magnitudes. The main hypotheses were that the longitudinal growth of immature bone would decrease with increased compressive load magnitude, and that the longitudinal growth would be more decelerated the higher the load mag- nitude.

Abstract:
Exercise during growth may increase peak bone mass; if the benefits are maintained it may reduce the risk of fracture later in life (1). It is hypothesised that exercise will preferentially enhance bone formation on the surface of cortical bone that is undergoing bone modeling at the time (2). Therefore, exercise may increase bone mass accrual on the outer periosteal surface during the pre- and peri-pubertal years, and on the inner endocortical surface during puberty (3). An increase in bone formation on the periosteal surface is, however, more effective for increasing bone strength than medul

Emerging evidence indicates that the dysregulation of protein ubiquitination plays a crucial role in aging-associated diseases. Smad-dependent canonical BMP signaling pathway is indispensable for osteoblastic bone formation, which could be disrupted by the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of Smad1/5, the key molecules for BMP signaling transduction. However, whether the dysregulation of Smad1/5 ubiquitination and disrupted BMP signaling pathway are responsible for the age-related bone formation reduction is still underexplored.

Kinesins are motor proteins responsible for the anterograde transport on microtubules. Kinesin-1 is the first characterized kinesin, and it consists of two heavy chains and two light chains. KIF5B is a form of Kinesin-1 heavy chains that is ubiquitously expressed in mammals. The head domain of KIF5B is responsible for ATP-dependent mechanical movement along microtubules, while the tail region is well-known for its interaction with cell specific cargos. Recent studies reveal a second microtubule binding site in the tail, suggesting special functions of KIF5B in microtubule sliding and bundling.

Each trial was preceeded by 1 day of inactivity, a 8-12 hr. fast, and drawing of a baseline blood sample by venipuncture. All other blood samples were taken via an indwelling catheter which was inserted in an antecubital vein immediately following the completion of the exercise bout.

Abstract:
Despite usual onset during adolescence the cause of low bone density in adolescent onset anorexia nervosa is incompletely understood. Puberty is known to be a crucial time for the development of peak bone mass, due principally to growth plate bone formation and modelling on preformed surfaces. This results in bone formation uncoupled from bone resorption leading to increased bone size due to increase in matrix and bone mineral content. It was hypothesized that low bone density in adolescent anorexia nervosa was caused by malnutrition during puberty suppressing normal bone matrix formation at a

Abstract:
Most of the load-bearing demand placed on the human body is transduced by skeletal tissue, and the capacity of the skeleton to articulate in various opposing directions is essential for body movement and locomotion. Consequently, cartilage and bone defects due to trauma, disease, and developmental abnormalities result in disabling pain and immobility for millions of people worldwide. A novel way of promoting cartilage and bone regeneration is through the incorporation of either primary cells or multipotent progenitor cells in a three-dimensional (3D) biomaterial scaffold, and/or the addition o
