    After bone fracture‚ many chemical and biological processes are triggered in the bone. After fracture‚ a cascade of signaling biomolecules and cellular changes induces bone healing simultaneously and sequentially. Generally‚ the bone healing process comprises four consecutive steps‚ that is‚ inflammation (reactive phase)‚ fibrocartilage callus formation (reparative phase)‚ bony callus formation (reparative phase)‚ and remodeling phase [31]. In the inflammatory phase‚ damage of vasculature results

    disease characterized by low bone density‚ which can lead to an increased risk of bone fractures1. Osteoporosis is closely linked to bone remodeling2‚ an adaptive process which maintains bone tissue integrity throughout one’s lifetime3. This process is carried out by specialized groups of bone cells known as basic multicellular units (BMUs) which dictate the processes of coupled bone breakdown and bone formation.3 During osteoporosis‚ this bone turnover rate accelerates and bone remodeling is shifted towards
