TL;DR: Current data about the structure and functions of bone cells and the factors that influence bone remodeling are discussed, indicating the dynamic nature of bone tissue.

TL;DR: T. cruzi infection in vitro does not always correlate with in vivo infection because host factors may act on parasites, modulating their infectivity, as is the case of pepsin digestion of isolate 573 gp90.

TL;DR: The results indicate that selective binding of gp82 to gastric mucin may direct T. cruzi metacyclic trypomastigotes to stomach mucosal epithelium in oral infection.

TL;DR: This review had the purpose of discussing the issue to confirm whether a relationship between autophagy dysfunction and osteoporosis exits.

TL;DR: It is suggested that estrogen replacement enhances osteocyte viability by inhibiting apoptosis and maintaining autophagy in alveolar process osteocytes, and the anti-apoptotic effect of estrogen may be, at least in part, related to autophile regulation in osteocytes.
