Plain-language verified summary

Question

In the mandible periosteum the sympathetic nervous system modulates bone metabolism through its cholinergic (and not adrenergic) pathway.

Methods

Primary osteoblasts were isolated from calvariae of 2- to 3- day-old mixed C57BL/6 mice (Charles River, L’Arbresle, France), expanded for 5 days and re-plated in differentiation medium [growth medium supplemented with 50 μM ascorbic acid, 10 nM dexamethasone and 5 mM beta-glycerophosphate (Sigma St Louis, MO, USA)].

Scale or participants

The ALP layer was used as a reference to divide the periosteal zone into juxta-osseous osteogenic and outer non-osteogenic compartments (Fig 1A and 1B).

Key findings

The sympathetic nervous system controls bone remodeling by regulating bone formation and resorption.

Limitations and uncertainty

The nervous system has emerged as an important regulator of bone metabolism by centrally controlling bone cell activities.
