Book excerpt: Dynamics of Bone and Cartilage Metabolism is a comprehensive treatise that spans the complete range from basic biochemistry of bone and cartilage components to the clinical evaluation of disease markers in bone and joint disorders. Thus, starting with the elements that compose the tissue (namely bone and cartilage, the major parts of the skeleton), the reader will learn about the basic science of these tissues (Part I). Part II describes the interplay of the various components of bone and cartilage under the control of systemic and local regulators. In Part III, the use of these structural and regulatory components as markers of disease processes is described.
