Bone Loss Triggered by the Cytokine Network in Inflammatory Autoimmune Diseases by Dulshara Sachini Amarasekara, Jiyeon Yu, Jaerang Rho

“…Bone loss and fracture risk are implicated in inflammatory autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and systemic lupus erythematosus. The network of inflammatory cytokines produced during chronic inflammation induces an uncoupling of bone formation and resorption, resulting in significant bone loss in patients with inflammatory autoimmune diseases. …”
