Bone Loss in Normal and Pathological Conditions

Bone Vascularization in Normal and Disease Conditions

Bone vasculature is essential for many processes, such as skeletal development and growth, bone modeling and remodeling, and healing processes. Endothelium is an integral part of bone tissue, expressing a physiological paracrine function via growth factors and chemokines release, and interacting with several cellular lines. Alterations of the complex biochemical interactions between vasculature...

Tenascin immunoreactivity in normal and pathological bone marrow.

AIMS To determine the distribution of tenascin in normal and pathological bone marrow. METHODS 48 different bone marrow lesions were studied immunohistochemically using a monoclonal antibody to tenascin. RESULTS Tenascin immunoreactivity was found in lesions with increased fibrosis and high numbers of reticular fibres. The strongest immunoreactivity was found in myelofibrosis. Bone marrow f...
