Q

the process by which bone size/shape is changed by independent actions of osteoblasts and osteoclasts (e.g. adding new bone without prior resorption or removing bone without replacing it). Can occur during longitudinal growth of bone or in response to an increase in mechanical loading of the bone. Modeling can lead to a net gain or loss of bone.

Q

(A.k.a. “Stone man syndrome”) – a disease in which there is ectopic mineralization in non-skeletal soft tissues, leading to sheets, plates of bones forming across the ribs, joints, etc. This restricts the movement of the skeleton. The disease is due to mutations in the BMP type I receptor (ACVR1) that make it hyperresponsive to BMP ligands.

Q

a disease of low bone mass that occurs due to the inability of bone formation to keep up with bone resorption (i.e. not all the bone that is resorbed is replaced, so there is a net loss in bone mass). Usually seen in post-menopausal women and/or the aged population (male and female).
