Editorial:

Soon after the attainment of peak bone mass, the balance between bone formation and bone resorption begins to progressively shift in favor of the latter, in both women and men. Thus, better understanding the cellular and molecular mechanism(s) involved in differentiation and activation of the skeletal cells are important for development of novel therapies to treat skeletal diseases caused by old age.
We invite researchers to submit original research and review articles covering significant developments in the cellular senescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, and oxidative stress of bone cells, as well as novel medicines or strategies that hold promise in the prevention and/or treatment of skeletal aging and diseases. In particular, we welcome research covering novel molecular mechanism, new tools on bone research, or any animal studies with clinical relevance.
