Bone-Metabolic Functions and Modulators (Topics in Bone Biology) - Softcover
Book 6 of 7: Topics in Bone Biology
Synopsis
431pages. poche. broche. Bone fait partie des milliers de sans abri qui hantent les rues de New York. Des employés de l'administration des ressources humaines essayent comme ils peuvent de les aider. Un mystérieux tueur a trouvé une solution plus radicale : il décapite la nuit quelques-uns de ces malheureux. Découvert près de Central Park, un fémur humain à la main, Bone a perdu la mémoire et l'usage de la parole. Qui est-il ? D'où vient-il ? Des traces de sang maculent ses vêtements. Ne serait-il pas le maniaque recherché par la police ? George Chesbro - connu pour une excellente série ayant pour héros le nain détective Mongo le Magnifique -signe ici un thriller sans faille qui mêle à la fois mystère, action et document social. Les pérégrinations de Bone l'amnésique le conduisent à côtoyer un monde marginal terrifiant avec comme point d'orgue une véritable descente aux enfers dans les entrailles de la ville où survivent alcooliques et désespérés rejetés par la société. -Claude Mesplède

From the Back Cover
Recent research, which Bone-Metabolic Functions and Modulators expands on, has added new support to the idea that bone not only serves as a support system, but also functions as an integrating organ, with a significant regulatory role for lipid and energy metabolism. Links between physical activity and the skeleton are also becoming increasingly clear. This fully illustrated volume contains up-to-date information on the metabolic role of the skeleton and what this can mean for the treatment of metabolic as well as skeletal and auditory diseases.
Bone-Metabolic Functions and Modulators is of particular interest to clinician scientists, clinical and basic bone researchers, orthopedists, endocrinologists, internists, dentists, nurse practitioners, medical and dental residents and physiotherapists as well as students of the musculoskeletal system.
Bone-Metabolic Functions and Modulators is the seventh volume in the series Topics in Bone Biology, edited by Felix Bronner and Mary C. Farach-Carson.
