Local coordination between intracortical bone remodeling and vascular development in human juvenile bone

Christina Moller Andreasen et al.

Summary: This study reveals the association between bone resorption events and vascular development. Analysis of proximal femoral cortical bone showed that vessels were more prevalent in non-quiescent pores compared to quiescent pores. Remodeling of existing pores had a higher density of vessels compared to de novo created pores. Additionally, pores at the eroded-formative remodeling stage had the highest density of vessels. Through 3D reconstruction, it was found that osteoclasts in the cutting cone and preosteoclasts in the lumen expressed VEGFA, while VEGFA-receptors were mainly expressed in endothelial cells in the adjacent vasculature. Therefore, it is proposed that the progression of the vascular network in intracortical remodeling events is driven by osteoclasts expressing VEGFA, and the vasculature is continuously reconfigured according to the demands of the remodeling events at the surrounding bone surfaces.

Daily administration of parathyroid hormone slows the progression of basic multicellular units in the cortical bone of the rabbit distal tibia

David M. L. Cooper et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of PTH on bone remodeling. The results showed that PTH not only increased the initiation rate of cortical BMUs but also slowed down their progression. However, the anabolic effect of PTH on bone formation was sustained even after withdrawal. These findings suggest the potential utility of PTH in optimizing clinical dosing regimens.

Direct Assessment of Rabbit Cortical Bone Basic Multicellular Unit Longitudinal Erosion Rate: A 4D Synchrotron-Based Approach

Kim D. Harrison et al.

Summary: In this study, a 4D in vivo method was used to directly measure the longitudinal erosion rate (LER) for studying the spatiotemporal coordination of bone remodeling and its role in diseases such as osteoporosis. The method involved synchrotron imaging of rabbit tibias in vivo and ex vivo, and the average LER was determined.

TOWARDS NOVEL MEASUREMENTS OF REMODELLING ACTIVITY IN CORTICAL BONE: IMPLICATIONS FOR OSTEOPOROSIS AND RELATED PHARMACEUTICAL TREATMENTS

L. L. Loundagin et al.

Summary: Abnormal changes in BMU activity can lead to osteoporosis. This review examines the alterations in BMU activity in various conditions and the impact of pharmaceutical treatments. The regulation of BMU activity and the dynamics of remodelling, particularly in cortical bone, are still poorly understood. Recent advances in imaging technology provide opportunities for studying cortical bone remodelling in vivo.

Quantifying intracortical bone microstructure: A critical appraisal of 2D and 3D approaches for assessing vascular canals and osteocyte lacunae

Katherine A. Williams et al.

Summary: Describing and quantifying vascular canal orientation and volume of osteocyte lacunae in bone is crucial for studies on bone growth, mechanics, health, and disease. Recent 3D methods show promise for a more accurate approach, but further investigation is needed to compare with traditional 2D methods.

Anatomical variation in intracortical canal network microarchitecture and its influence on bone fracture risk

Piyush Uniyal et al.

Summary: Intracortical canals significantly contribute to cortical bone porosity and mechanical response, with canal networks acting as stress concentrators. Site-dependent variations were found in canal porosity, orientation, and length, with the lateral cortex exhibiting significantly higher porosity compared to the posterior cortex. The study suggests that canal orientation and porosity play a significant role in bone fracture risk assessment.
