Abstract excerpt
The hypothesis that local changes in extracellular calcium may serve a physiological role in regulating osteoblast, osteoclast, and cartilage function through the extracellular cation-sensing receptor, CasR, is gaining widespread support, but lacks definite proof. To examine the effects of CasR deficiency on the skeleton, we performed a detailed analysis of the skeleton in CasR knockout mice (CasR(-/-)) and...
