Long-term potentiation in bone – a role for glutamate in strain-induced cellular memory?
BACKGROUND: The adaptive response of bone cells to mechanical strain is a primary determinant of skeletal architecture and bone mass. In vivo mechanical loading induces new bone formation and increases bone mineral density whereas disuse, immobilisation and weightlessness induce bone loss. The poten...
