The new understanding provided by the RANK/RANKL/OPG paradigm for both differentiation and activation of osteoclasts has ... characterized by excessive bone resorption. Cite this: Osteoprotegerin ...
This class of drugs slows bone resorption and thereby increases BMD; however, the precise effect of bisphosphonate therapy on the target cell—the osteoclast—remains elusive. As bisphosphonates ...
Researchers from Japan and the US have developed a novel antiresorptive drug, reveromycin A, which inhibits bone resorption by inducing apoptosis in OSTEOCLASTS. In osteoporosis, excessive bone ...
"Our findings suggest that Opto-RANK can be used to induce macrophage differentiation into osteoclasts and stimulate local bone resorption when activated by blue light," says Nakata. The precise ...
Osteoprotegerin and its Ligand: A New Paradigm for Regulation of Osteoclastogenesis and Bone Resorption ... with receptors on hematopoietic osteoclast precursor cells. RANK-L: receptor activator ...
Osteolytic diseases, such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, osteosarcoma, and giant-cell tumors of bone, are characterized by increased bone resorption and decreased bone formation, leading to ...
