Bone metabolism is the process by which bones continuously undergo remodeling, involving the formation of new bone tissue and the breakdown of old bone tissue. It is a complex and tightly regulated process that is crucial for maintaining bone health and strength. Imbalances in bone metabolism can lead to various bone disorders, such as osteoporosis or osteomalacia. Research in this area aims to understand the mechanisms regulating bone metabolism, identify factors that influence bone health, and develop new treatments for bone diseases. This field of study often involves interdisciplinary research combining aspects of biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, and physiology.
