What is bone remodeling?

Bone remodeling is a continuous process where old bone tissue is replaced by new bone tissue. This process involves two main types of cells: osteoclasts, which break down old bone, and osteoblasts, which build new bone. Bone remodeling is essential for maintaining bone strength and integrity, adapting to mechanical stress, and regulating mineral homeostasis in the body. It occurs throughout a person's life, influenced by factors such as age, diet, and physical activity.
