Abstract:
We studied the effect of 30-day hindlimb unloading and subsequent simulated hypergravity on the cellularity and proliferative, clonogenic, and differentiation potential of bone marrow stromal progenitors in mice. Clonogenic and differentiation activity of stromal cells decreased after unloading; proliferative and differentiation activity of bone marrow stromal progenitors increased after hypergravity simulation. Our findings demonstrated negative effect of unloading on functional activity of mouse bone marrow stromal progenitors. Short-term hypergravity after unloading produced a stimulating effect on the bone marrow stromal progenitors.

Compact Bone
Compact bone, also called cortical bone, is the denser, stronger of the two types of bone tissue. It is found under the periosteum and in the diaphyses of long bones, where it provides support and protection. The microscopic structural unit of compact bone is called an osteon, or haversian system. Each osteon is composed of concentric rings of calcified...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
