Though it is well established that mechanical loading provides an essential stimulus for skeletal growth and maintenance, there have been major advances recently in terms of our understanding of the molecular pathways involved, which are thought to provide novel drug targets for treating osteoporosis. The articles included in this topic encompass the full spectrum of laboratory and clinical research, and range from review articles, editorials, hypothesis papers and original research articles. Together, they demonstrate how mechanical loading underpins many aspects of bone biology, including the pathogenesis and treatment of osteoporosis and other clinical disorders associated with skeletal fragility. 610 $amechanical loading 610 $abone architecture 610 $aaccelerometers 610 $aosteoblast 610 $aosteoporosis 610 $aosteoclast 610 $afractures 610 $adistraction osteogenesis 700 $aJonathan H.
