Bone Remodeling

Meaning

Bone remodeling is the continuous, lifelong physiological process by which mature bone tissue is systematically removed and new bone tissue is subsequently formed. This essential cycle maintains skeletal integrity, facilitates the repair of micro-damage accumulated from daily stresses, and critically regulates systemic calcium homeostasis. It is a dynamic process vital for preserving bone strength and adapting the skeleton to mechanical loads. The proper equilibrium between bone resorption and formation is indispensable for preventing debilitating conditions like osteoporosis.
