bone remodeling. Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering 8, 455-498.
This study aims to prepare phytochemical incorporated nano-calcium silicate implants and evaluate
bone remodeling around the implants over longer periods of time.
In the course of
bone remodeling, bone resorption is closely associated with new bone formation.
The balance between osteoclasts and osteoblasts which determines the rate of
bone remodeling could be disturbed by several molecular pathways.
Gap junctions formed by connexins (Cx) play an important role in transmitting signals between bone cells, which are responsible for bone formation and
bone remodeling. Gap junctional intercellular communication (GJIC) has been demonstrated to mediate the process of osteoblast differentiation and bone formation (10).

Paget's disease of bone is a localized
bone remodeling disorder of uncertain etiology, (10) although environmental and genetic factors are thought to be involved.
Thus, repeated microinjuries to the subchondral bone might trigger the
bone remodeling process, activating the osteoclasts, breaking down various osteolysis enzymes, and promoting localized osteolysis, subsequently causing destruction of the trabecular bone.

Prolonged bisphosphonate therapy may contribute to atypical subtrochanteric fractures by over suppressing
bone remodeling leading to alterations in bone mineral and organic matrix.3 As a consequence of the reduction in bone turnover by bisphosphonates, the mineralization of bone is significantly altered.
