Abstract

Bone metabolism is a complex process which is influenced by the activity of bone cells (e.g., osteocytes, osteoblasts, osteoclasts), the effect of some specific biomarkers (e.g., parathyroid hormone, vitamin D, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, osteopontin, osteoportegerin, osterix, RANKL, Runx2) and the characteristic signaling pathways (e.g., RANKL/RANK, Wnt/β, Notch, BMP, SMAD). Some phytochemical compounds such as flavonoids, tannins, polyphenols, anthocyanins, terpenoids, polysaccharides, alkaloids and others presented a beneficial and stimulating effect in the bone regeneration process due to pro-estrogenic activity, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and modulation of bone signaling pathways. Lately, nanomedicine has emerged as an innovative concept for new treatments in bone related pathologies envisaged by incorporation of medicinal substances in nanometric systems for oral or local administration, as well as in nanostructured scaffolds with huge potential in bone tissue engineering.
