Bone biomarker for the clinical assessment of osteoporosis: recent developments and future perspectives

TLDR
The functions of bone biomarkers are introduced and then recently developed techniques for bone biomarker measurements have been systematically integrated to discuss the possibility for osteoporosis assessment in the early stage.
Abstract
Bone biomarkers included formation, resorption and regulator are released during the bone remodeling processes. These bone biomarkers have attracted much attention in the clinical assessment of osteoporosis treatment in the past decade. Combination with the measurement of bone mineral density, the clinical applications of bone biomarkers have provided comprehensive information for diagnosis of osteoporosis. However, the analytical approaches of the bone biomarkers are still the challenge for further clinical trials. In this mini-review, we have introduced the functions of bone biomarkers and then recently developed techniques for bone biomarker measurements have been systematically integrated to discuss the possibility for osteoporosis assessment in the early stage.

Osteoporosis: Current Concepts.

TL;DR: Nonpharmacological interventions, which are recommended for all subjects, and pharmacological therapy in all postmenopausal women who have had an osteoporotic fracture or have BMD values consistent with osteopOrosis are recommended.

Lysyl oxidases: from enzyme activity to extracellular matrix cross-links

TL;DR: The recent 3D model ofLOX, which recapitulates its known structural and biochemical features, will be useful to decipher the molecular mechanisms of LOX interaction with its various substrates, and to design substrate-specific inhibitors, which are potential antifibrotic and antitumor drugs.

A systematic review and meta-analysis of bone loss in space travelers.

TL;DR: A meta-analysis of studies systematically identified from searching Medline, Embase, Web of Science, BIOSIS, NASA Technical reports, and HathiTrust extracted post-flight bone density and biochemical bone marker values for 124 individuals, finding microgravity-induced bone changes depend on the skeletal-site position relative to the gravitational vector.

Ovariectomized rat model of osteoporosis: a practical guide.

TL;DR: A 4-step guideline for inducing a rat model of osteoporosis by ovariectomy (OVX) is provided, showing that the responses of trabecular bones of proximal tibia, lumbar vertebrae and femur to OVX are similar to those in humans; however, for short-term studies, proximalTibia is recommended.

Assessment of fracture risk and its application to screening for postmenopausal osteoporos

TL;DR: There is little evidence that osteoporosis can usefully be tackled by a public health policy to influence risk factors such as smoking, exercise and nutrition, so the selective use of screening techniques will improve the cost-benefit ratio of intervention.

Endocrine Regulation of Energy Metabolism by the Skeleton

TL;DR: It is shown that mice lacking the protein tyrosine phosphatase OST-PTP are hypoglycemic and are protected from obesity and glucose intolerance because of an increase in beta-cell proliferation, insulin secretion, and insulin sensitivity, and in vivo osteocalcin can improve glucose tolerance.

Identity of osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OCIF) and osteoprotegerin (OPG): a mechanism by which OPG/OCIF inhibits osteoclastogenesis in vitro.

TL;DR: The cloning of a complementary DNA of human OCIF is reported, suggesting that the sites are involved in cell-to-cell signaling between stromal cells and osteoclast progenitors and that OPG/OCIF inhibits osteOClastogenesis by interrupting the signaling through the sites.
