Even though activation of immunity is associated with bone destruction, new mechanisms have been described in 2014 through which immunology-associated pathways can cooperate to support osteogenesis. These advances support the view of the immune system as a central mechanism which can regulate bone homeostasis, regeneration and destruction.
