Abstract

In order to secure the mechanical integrity of the skeleton bone undergoes constant renewal throughout life. This renewal process, bone remodeling, consists of the continuos removal of bone (bone resorption) followed by synthesis of new bone matrix and subsequent mineralization (bone formation). Bone remodeling is also an integral part of the calcium homeostatic system together with the kidneys and the gut.
