Introduction  \nOsteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterized by diminished bone mineral density and compromised bone microarchitecture, resulting in reduced bone strength and heightened fracture risk [1]. Recent research has underscored the critical role of mitochondria in bone metabolism [2]. Beyond serving as the primary source of cellular energy, mitochondria are integral to modulating key physiological processes, such as cell viability, apoptosis, and oxidative stress, all of which are essential for bone homeostasis [3]. Emerging evidence highlights mitochondrial dysfunction as a key contributor to osteoporosis pathogenesis, particularly in disrupting the delicate balance between bone formation and resorption [4]. Under physiological conditions, mitochondria sustain skeletal homeostasis by regulating osteoblast andosteoclast activities. In pathological states, however, mitochondrial dysfunction perturbs this equilibrium, thereby exacerbating osteoporosis development [5].  \nThe dynamic properties and quality control mechanisms of mitochondria have garnered significant attention in the pathogenesis of osteoporosis [6]. Research indicates that mitochondrial fusion, fission, biogenesis, and mitophagy are critical for the viability and functionality of bone cells. Specifically, mitochondrial dynamics modulate the metabolic state and survival signaling of bone cells, thereby influencing bone metabolism homeostasis [7]. Consequently, mitochondria-targeted therapeutic strategies have emerged as promising interventions for osteoporosis-related conditions, particularly in managing diabetes-induced and postmenopausal osteoporosis [8].  \nTherefore, a deeper understanding of mitochondria’s role in bone metabolism and its underlying mechanisms is crucial for elucidating the pathogenesis of osteoporosis and fostering the development of innovative therapeutic ","cbCaifXzZIf3nby4","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifXzZIf3nby4","pdf",1863540,"English","# Introduction\n# Basic Function and Structure of Mitochondria","[{\"question\":\"What role do mitochondria play in bone metabolism related to osteoporosis?\",\"answer\":\"Mitochondria regulate key processes in bone homeostasis by supporting cell viability and influencing apoptosis, oxidative stress, and calcium ion homeostasis.
