What old means to bone
Open accessAbstract
The adverse effects of aging of other organs (ovaries at menopause) on the skeleton are well known, but ironically little is known of skeletal aging itself. Evidence indicates that age-related changes, such as oxidative stress, are fundamental mechanisms of the decline of bone mass and strength. Unlike the short-lived osteoclasts and osteoblasts, osteocytes--former osteoblasts entombed in the mineralized matrix--live as long as 50 years, and their death is dependent on skeletal age. Osteocyte death is a major contributor to the decline of bone strength with age, and the likely mechanisms are oxidative stress, autophagy failure and nuclear pore "leakiness". Unraveling these mechanisms should improve understanding of the age-related increase in fractures and suggest novel targets for its prevention.

“It has been noted that osteocyte apoptosis increases with tissue age, which contributes to bone weakening independent of BMD through at least two mechanisms: (i) the formation of areas of micropetrosis due to mineralization of empty lacunae; and (ii) disruption of the canalicular system, thereby decreasing repair of m…”

“Osteocyte death (as evidenced by the presence of empty osteocyte lacunae) is increased after oestrogen withdrawal, unloading of bone and during ageing (Manolagas and Parfitt, 2010), conditions that are associated with lower bone mass due to increased remodelling.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
