From the reviews:
"Volume 2 in the series Bone Biology and written by US experts, it reviews in 9 chapters the biology, physiology and physiopathology of the osteoclast. It also describes the new drugs which inhibit bone resorption. A very complete, well referenced text, of interest to all who research or treat bone diseases, including pediatric endocrinologists." (Zvi Laron, Pediatric Endocrinology Reviews, Vol. 3 (2), 2005)
