Abstract
[Extract] Dear Editor, In a recent issue of Osteoporosis International, we read with great interest the article by Wornham et al. detailing that Sr2+ acts as a global inhibitor of bone cell function, with particularly marked effects on mineralization. However, this finding contradicts with published studies which showed Sr^2+ is a promoter for bone formation. Clearly, the authors neglected the fact that Sr^2+ concentrations in biological microenvironment play essential roles in bone formation.
