title: Bone physiology.
abstract: Marked improvement in the knowledge of bone physiology has occurred during the last few years. In particular, the development of immunology of bone leads to better understanding of bone cell origin and lineage. At the same time, development of biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption activities allows for better analysis of several pathologic conditions.
