Biological Basis of Bone Formation, Remodeling, and Repair—Part I: Biochemical Signaling Molecules

Abstract excerpt

The bony biochemical environment is an active and dynamic system that permits and promotes cellular functions that lead to matrix production and ossification. Each component is capable of conveying important regulatory cues to nearby cells, thus effecting gene expression and changes at the cytostructural level. Here, we review the various signaling molecules that contribute to the active and dynamic nature of the...
