Scope & Guideline
Unlocking insights in endocrinology and athletic performance.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Bone Biology and Physiology:
Research focusing on the fundamental biological processes of bone formation, remodeling, and metabolism, including studies on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. - Bone Diseases and Disorders:
Investigations into various bone diseases such as osteoporosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, and hypophosphatasia, including their pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, and treatment options. - Clinical Trials and Interventions:
Reports on clinical trials assessing the efficacy and safety of pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions for bone health, including bisphosphonates, parathyroid hormone analogs, and dietary supplements. - Imaging and Biomarkers:
Studies utilizing imaging techniques (e.g., HR-pQCT, DXA) and biomarkers to assess bone quality, density, and turnover, contributing to the understanding of fracture risk and treatment outcomes. - Genetic and Molecular Mechanisms:
Exploration of the genetic, epigenetic, and molecular pathways influencing bone health and disease, including the role of microRNAs, signaling pathways, and genetic variants. - Public Health and Epidemiology:
Research addressing public health aspects of bone health, including epidemiological studies on fracture incidence, risk factors, and the impact of lifestyle and environmental factors on bone health.
Trending and Emerging
- Microbiome and Bone Health:
Emerging studies highlight the relationship between gut microbiota and bone health, exploring how dietary components and microbiome alterations can affect bone metabolism. - Personalized Medicine in Osteoporosis:
There is an increasing focus on tailoring osteoporosis treatments based on genetic, phenotypic, and lifestyle factors, indicating a shift towards personalized approaches in managing bone diseases. - Digital Health and Osteoporosis Screening:
The integration of digital technologies and machine learning in osteoporosis risk assessment and screening is gaining traction, particularly in improving access and accuracy in clinical settings. - Inflammation and Bone Disease:
Research increasingly investigates the role of inflammatory processes in bone diseases, linking systemic inflammation to conditions like osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. - Nutritional Interventions:
A growing body of literature is examining the impact of specific dietary patterns, supplements, and functional foods on bone health, reflecting a trend towards preventive and integrative health strategies.
Declining or Waning
- Vitamin D Research:
While vitamin D is crucial for bone health, the volume of studies focusing solely on vitamin D supplementation and its direct effects on bone density has decreased, possibly due to previous extensive literature. - Traditional Osteoporosis Treatments:
Research on older treatments like estrogen replacement therapy and traditional bisphosphonates is declining, as newer therapies and combination approaches gain prominence. - Animal Models of Bone Disease:
There seems to be a reduction in studies using traditional animal models for bone disease, possibly shifting towards more clinically relevant human studies or advanced models. - Basic Science of Bone Mechanotransduction:
Research focused on the basic cellular mechanisms of how mechanical forces affect bone cells has seen less emphasis, as the field moves towards integrative approaches combining biomechanics and biology.
