Overview

This detailed second edition provides key updates on well-established methods as well as coverage of recently emerging sophisticated techniques and methods that are essential for an in-depth and state-of-the-art understanding of skeletal development and homeostasis and the pathological mechanisms that cause skeletal degeneration. The first half of the book examines cell and molecular biological aspects of osteoarthritis and osteoporosis, while the remainder of the collection focuses on in vivo models of skeletal tissue injury, degeneration, and repair. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.  Authoritative and up-to-date, Osteoporosis and Osteoarthritis, Second Edition aims to assist investigators concerned with research topics broadly related to osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, intervertebral disc degeneration, as well as other musculoskeletal disorders.

Reviews

This book is written for investigators in the field of osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. In my opinion, in addition to the investigators in this field, the book will also be quite useful for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of orthopedic surgery. ... This is an extremely useful book for students, investigators, orthopedic surgeons, and others who might be interested in learning more about research techniques involved in osteoporosis and osteoarthritis. ... This edition is very much needed. (Omer Iqbal, Doody's Book Reviews, February 8, 2021)
