The phrase "are important for bone" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing the significance of certain nutrients or factors in relation to bone health.
Example: "Calcium and vitamin D are important for bone strength and density."
Alternatives: "crucial for bone health" or "essential for bone development".
As precursors of bone-resorbing osteoclasts, monocytes are important for bone remodeling (Deng et al., 2011b; Zhou et al., 2015).
The relatively new technology of organ/tissue printing now enables the accurate 3D organization of the components that are important for bone formation and also addresses issues, such as graft porosity and vascularization.
The concepts of compartment and curative surgical margins are important for bone tumor staging.
Based on the present definition of osteoporosis, both density and quality are important for bone strength [ 13- 15].
It could be hypothesized that BMP-6 and BMP-9 which both are affected by activin A are important for bone homeostasis in myeloma patients.
During osteoblast differentiation, several markers are expressed including alkaline phosphatase, which are important for bone matrix deposition and mineralization, as well as regulators of matrix calcification, including osteocalcin and osteonectin.
Since estrogen is important for bone health, it was long suspected that exemestane might be bad for bones.
Prof Matthew Wyon, head of dance science at the University of Wolverhampton, says: "Vitamin D is important for bone development and has a wide range of functions.
Biochemical abnormalities usually present in rickets and osteomalacia are increased blood concentration of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase, believed to be important for bone formation or resorption, and decreased blood concentrations of calcium or phosphate or both; the calcium concentration may fall to levels so low that muscle and nerve function is impaired (tetany).
A functional immune system therefore is important for bone healing.
Monocytes may access bone resorption surfaces to differentiate into osteoclasts to resorb bone, which is important for bone remodeling and fracture repair (Deng et al., 2011a).
