Abstract
The bone is a metabolically active tissue that undergoes continuous regeneration, which bestows the skeleton its regenerative and functional adaptation capacity. Although there have been significant advances in our understanding of the mechanism of the bone remodeling process in recent years, there is still much to learn on many aspects since the regulation of bone remodeling is a complex process. It integrates different stimuli such as mechanical and hormonal factors, cytokines and growth factors. On the other hand, better understanding of the cellular and molecular events involved in the bone remodeling process could help in futures treatments in the field of bone metabolic diseases.
