Dynamics of Bone and Cartilage Metabolism: Principles and Clinical Applications

by Markus J. Seibel (Editor), Simon P. Robins (Editor), John P. Bilezikian (Editor)

Overview

This updated edition is a comprehensive treatise that spans the complete range of basic biochemistry of bone and cartilage components to the clinical evaluation of disease markers in bone and joint disorders. With contributions from over 75 international experts, Dynamics of Bone and Cartilage Metabolism, Second Edition, is indispensable reading for those involved in skeletal research as well as for rheumatologists, endocrinologists, clinical biochemists, and other clinical disciplines participating in the management of patients with bone and cartilage diseases.

• Part I provides an up-to-date account of current knowledge of the structure, biosynthesis and molecular biology of the major tissue components
• Part II covers the organizational structure and cellular metabolism of bone and cartilage
• Part III deals with the utility of components specific to bone and cartilage as biomarkers of health and disease

About the Author

Markus J Seibel, MD PhD FRACP FAHMS, is Professor of Endocrinology at Sydney Uni¬versity. He is the Inaugural Director of the Bone Research Program at the ANZAC Research Institute, and heads the Department of Endocrinology&Meta¬bolism at Concord Hospital, Sydney.
His research in musculoskeletal biology covers topics such as glucocorticoid signalling in bone and its effects on bone and systemic fuel metabolism and ageing; the biology of bone metastases; and the clinical efficacy of secondary fracture prevention programs.
Prof Seibel has published over 400 scientific papers and is the editor of 8 books. In 2017, he has been elected to the Australian Academy of Health and Medical Sciences. Prof Seibel is a Past President of the Australia and New Zealand Bone&Mineral Society (ANZBMS), a Member of the Board of Directors, International Federation of Musculoskeletal Research Societies (IFMRS), and the Chair of the Australian National Alliance for Secondary Fracture Prevention.
John P. Bilezikian, MD, the Dorothy L. and Daniel H. Silberberg Professor of Medicine and Professor of Pharmacology at the College of Physicians&Surgeons, Columbia University is Chief of the Division of Endocrinology and Director of the Metabolic Bone Diseases Program at Columbia University Medical Center. Dr. Bilezikian received his undergraduate training at Harvard College and his medical training at the College of Physicians&Surgeons. He completed four years of house staff training (internship, residency and Chief Residency) on the Medical Service at Columbia Presbyterian Medical Center. Dr. Bilezikian received his training in Metabolic Bone Diseases and in Endocrinology at the NIH in the Mineral Metabolism Branch under the tutelage of Dr. Gerald Aurbach. Dr. Bilezikian belongs to a number of professional societies including the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, of which he served as President, 1995-1996 and the International Society of Clinical Densitometry, of which he served as President, 1999-2001. He serves on the Board of Governors of the International Osteoporosis Foundation (1998-present) and on its Committee of Scientific Advisors (2001-present). He is Chair of the Endocrine Fellows Foundation. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism (2000-2004) and as Senior Associate Editor of the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (2008-2012). He is Executive Advisory Editor of Bone Research (2013-present). His books include Editor-in-Chief of The Parathyroids [1994, 2001, 2014], and co-editor of The Aging Skeleton (1999), Dynamics of Bone and Cartilage Metabolism (1999, 2006), Principles of Bone Biology (1996, 2002, 2008) and Osteoporosis in Men (2010). He served as co-chair of the last three NIH Workshops on Primary Hyperparathyroidism (2002, 2008, 2013). He is the recipient of the Distinguished Physician Award of the Endocrine Society, the Frederic C. Bartter Award of the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) for Excellence in Clinical Research and the First Annual Global Leadership Award of the International Society of Clinical Densitometry. In 2009, he received the Gideon A. Rodan Excellence in Mentorship Award from the ASBMR. He received the Laureate Distinguished Educator Award of The Endocrine Society in 2014. In 2014, he was made honorary member of the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism. His publications number over 700.

Editorial Reviews

Praise for the First Edition:
"..The approach taken in this book—to consider the structural, functional, metabolic, and pathologic aspects of bone and cartilage in parallel—is a welcome departure and provides the reader with an unusual and interesting range of topics...Scientists and physicians who wish to cross the divide between bone and cartilage will find this book of considerable interest and value..." —Juliet E. Compston, University of Cambridge, UK in THE NEW ENGLAND JOURNAL OF MEDICINE
