Bone mineral density and genetic markers involved in three connected pathways (focal adhesion, actin cytoskeleton regulation and cell cycle): The CUMAGAS-BMD information system

Zintzaras, E.; Doxani, C.; Ziogas, D. C.; Mprotsis, T.; Rodopoulou, P.; Karachalios, T. (2011)

The focal adhesion, the actin cytoskeleton and cell-cycle are connected pathways and their genes are implicated in the pathogenesis of low BMD. Data from 211 studies that investigated the association between BMD and gene ...

Bone mineral density in vocational and professional ballet dancers

Amorim T., Koutedakis Y., Nevill A., Wyon M., Maia J., Machado J.C., Marques F., Metsios G.S., Flouris A.D., Adubeiro N., Nogueira L., Dimitriou L. (2017)
