Abstract excerpt
Bone remodeling is central to maintaining the integrity of the skeletal system, wherein the developed bone is constantly renewed by the balanced action of osteoblastic bone formation and osteoclastic bone resorption. In the present study, we demonstrate a novel function of the Stat1 transcription factor in the regulation of bone remodeling. In the bone of the Stat1-deficient mice, excessive osteoclastogenesis is...
