The crucial trace element zinc stimulates osteogenesis in vitro and in vivo. However, the
pathways mediating these effects remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate …

A characteristic sign of zinc deficiency is retarded skeletal growth, but the role of zinc in
osteoblasts is not well understood. Two major events for bone formation include osteoblast …

Zinc is an essential trace element required for bone formation, however not much has been
clarified yet for its role in osteoblast. We hypothesized that zinc would increase osteogenetic …

Zinc is a micronutrient of key importance for human health. An increasing number of studies
indicate that zinc plays a significant role in bone tissue's normal development and …

Zinc is an essential mineral that is required for normal skeletal growth and bone
homeostasis. Furthermore, zinc appears to be able to promote bone regeneration. However …

Background To this day, empirical data suggests that zinc has important roles in matrix
synthesis, bone turnover, and mineralization and its beneficial effects on bone could be …

Zinc is an essential element for bone formation; however, its role in osteoblast has not been
well understood. In the present study, we hypothesized that zinc could increase …

Objective Zinc is an essential element for proliferation, differentiation and survival in various
cell types. In a previous study, we found that zinc ions released from zinc-modified titanium …

Zinc is an important element in biology yet little is understood of its role in bone cell
metabolism and function. This study examined the effects of zinc on osteoclast (OC) function …

Zirconium (Zr) is an element commonly used in dental and orthopedic implants either as
zirconia (ZrO2) or in metal alloys. It can also be incorporated into calcium silicate-based …
