Abstract
During bone remodelling the skeleton maintains its fitness for function. In many human and animal conditions, bone is lost when remodelling is disturbed and fractures and disability result. This application is to fund equipment to support a programme of basic research to identify and characterise novel regulators of bone remodelling on vitro and in vivo. The work links fundamental and applied studies which have relevance to healthcare, pharmaceutical industries and agriculture. Specifically, the research will have pervasive implications on fracture healing and orthopaedic implantation, the development of drugs to inhibit bone loss in conditions such as osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis and productivity in the poultry industry.
