Nitric oxide research has emerged as one of the most important new areas in bone and joint diseases. This book is the first to bring together current knowledge on the actions of nitric oxide and its role in such common diseases as arthritis and osteoporosis. The volume introduces the basic biology and biochemistry of nitric oxide, the immune response, and bone biology. While doing so, it reviews in depth the facts we know today and the future promise of this exciting area of research. Throughout the book, the authors emphasize potential new treatments that exploit our understanding of the role of nitric oxide in bone and joint disease. This resource will give scientists and clinicians unique insight into this increasingly important area of research.
