The Bone Talk: Resilience and resilience engineering
summary
Bone is presented as the archetype of resilience: the adult skeleton replaces every 10 years through continuous, energy‑consuming remodeling guided by mechanical strain and layered signaling. Bone also stores ~1 kg calcium (≈99% of the body's supply) and balances osteoblasts and osteoclasts under hormonal control. Two resilience‑engineering strategies emerge: ancient orthopedic reduction + fixation that leverages existing resilience to restore function, and modern molecular modulation (PTHrP drugs) that cuts vertebral fractures by ~91% but carries animal tumor signals and new hazard tradeoffs.
