Special issue on 

New and Emerging Therapies for Osteoporosis

The meaning of Osteoporosis is” porous bones”. Osteoporosis is a disease of bones that leads to an increased risk of fracture. In osteoporosis, the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone microarchitecture deteriorates, and the amount and variety of proteins in bone are altered. Osteoporosis is defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a bone mineral density of 2.5 standard deviations or more below the mean peak bone mass (average of young, healthy adults) as measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring New and Emerging Therapies for Osteoporosis.
