Bones are an essential part of our bodies. There are approximately 33.6 million people in the US alone who suffer from diseases that cause bone density loss such as osteoporosis. Since the skeletal system provides the body’s main support and movement, patients afflicted with musculoskeletal disorders gradually lose their quality of life.

Did you know that 5-10% of your bone is replaced every year? And that both females and males can develop osteoporosis?

Bone remodeling, the process by which new bone is formed and old bone is removed, is in charge of keeping your bones strong and healthy. This process is a continuous and tightly regulated cycle that requires interaction between two important cells, the bone forming cells (osteoblast) and bone degrading cells (osteoclast).
