Bone as a source of organism vitality and regeneration

Abstract: Abstract:The most important features that determine the vital role of bone include: a) a continuous supply of calcium, which is indispensible for every cell of the entire organism at all times, and b) the delivery of circulating blood cells and some adult stem cells to keep the body vigorous, ready for self-reparation, and continuously rebuilding throughout life. These functions of bones are no less important than protecting the body cavities, serving as mechanical levers connected to the muscles, and determin… Show more

“…Simultaneously, the cumulative effect of HIV infection and the toxicity of the antiretroviral drugs contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, which in turn increases the production of proinflammatory cytokines leading to an increase in osteoclast maturation and a decrease in osteoprotegerin, resulting in a reduction in bone mineral density (BMD) [4,5]. Additionally, other factors common in this group of patients can also contribute to bone loss, such as low body mass index, alcoholism, smoking, drug use, decreased calcium intake, physical inactivity, vitamin D deficiency, hypogonadism, and increased parathyroid hormone serum concentrations [6][7][8][9].…”

“…Importantly, the direct effects of chronic inflammation due to HIV may increase bone reabsorption, resulting in a negative bone balance [7]. Therefore, the elevation of inflammatory biomarkers mediated by chronic HIV infection and the toxicity of the antiretroviral drugs both influence metabolic disorders and increase the risk of morbidity and mortality [8,9].…”

“…Bone fracture healing is a well-programmed and well-organized process, but it is also long and intractable. The outcome of the process is thus affected by many factors, such as patient's age, ethnicity, nutritional status, physical condition, and the etiology and extent of the fracture [1][2][3][4][5]. The healing process following bone fracture takes one of two different paths, depending on whether or not a stabilization procedure was performed: non-stabilized fractures heal via endochondral ossification, while stabilized fractures heal via intramembranous ossification [6].…”

“…Many key regulating factors and signaling pathways affect bone repair; these include fibroblast growth factors (FGFs), platelet-derived growth factors (PDGFs), transforming growth factor beta (TGF-b), vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs), and bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) [4,5]. TGF-b has direct effects on the regulation of osteoblast differentiation; its reduction in osteoblasts has been shown to expand bone mineral concentration and bone mass [8][9][10].…”
