Does arm bone loading index predict DXA musculoskeletal outcomes in two samples of post-menarcheal girls?
In two independent cohorts, arm totBLI may consistently indicate osteogenic and sarcogenic properties of represented activities; additional research is necessary for further refinement and validation.
Our results show that microvascular endothelial cells are able to form podosomes without specific stimulation. Our data suggest that the major determinant of podosome induction in these cells is substrate rigidity.
