How can you use “resorption” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
The measurement of CTX isoforms, and the ratios between the native α Lform and the age-modified forms of CTX, indicative of the age of the resorbed collagen fragments, may thus provide clinical useful information for diagnosing and monitoring bone metastasis occurrence in cancer patients [ 11 ] . Such an application of the CTX bone resorption markers may be especially relevant for breast cancer patients, who have a high risk of developing bone metastases.
The resolution of this issue is further clouded by the apparent contradictory findings that IFN-γ is an extremely potent anti-osteoclastogenic factor [ 38 ] but it can be found at high levels in sites of osteolysis [ 39 ] . To reconcile this controversy we performed a series of experiments aimed at understanding how IFN-γ could induce either bactericidal effects via macrophage activation or osteoclastic bone resorption, by influencing the same progenitor cell in the same bone environment.
Chronic immobilization can also lead to enhanced bone resorption.
The current understanding of Ocl function is that the Ocl seals its perimeter along the bone surface by means of the podosome [ 16, 17, 18] . Within this sealed margin, projections from the cytoplasm form the ruffled border, a specialized Ocl-extracellular space in which bone resorption occurs.
Osteoclasts are critical for both the continuous remodeling of normal bone tissue as well as the repair of fractured bones [ 2 ] . During normal bone remodeling, osteoclast-mediated bone resorption is balanced by osteoblast-mediated bone formation, resulting in the maintenance of skeletal bone mass.
