Osteoclast Apoptosis: The Role of Fas<i>in Vivo</i>and<i>in Vitro</i>
26 Aug 2003
Abstract excerpt
Both the number and the activity of osteoclasts are critical for maintaining normal bone turnover. The number is determined by rates of cell differentiation and death. Fas-mediated apoptosis is a dominant mechanism for apoptosis. Here, we show the presence of the Fas receptor on mouse, human, avian, and cultured RAW264.7 (murine) derived osteoclasts and the up-regulation of its expression during mouse osteoclast...
