Transient-steady state phenomena in microdamage physiology: a proposed algorithm for lamellar bone

Calcified Tissue International
H M Frost

Abstract

This algorithm suggests that in steady states the momentary burden of unrepaired microdamage (MDx) in lamellar bone equals the rate of creation of new MDx multiplied by the time taken to repair a locus of MDx completely in the biomechanical sense. That "repair period" equals about 0.6 years in healthy human adults. When MDx production suddenly increases, the momentary MDx burden begins to increase too, and does so for a time equal to the repair period and in proportion to the increased MDx production. After the repair period elapses, the momentary MDx would tend to reach and stay at a maximum value as long as increased MDx production continued. Prolonging the repair period, preventing the creation of new remodeling units to repair MDx, or delaying mineralization of the new bone made by those units would also increase MDx burdens. Reducing MDx production or the repair period, or accelerating the creation of new modeling units would have the opposite effects on the momentary MDx burden but would also go through a transient phase before developing the new steady state conditions. Exploiting these relationships quantitatively and experimentally requires expressing them mathematically and using for the terms in any equations things ...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
