Abstract excerpt
The osteoclast is known to be derived from the hematopoietic stem cell, but its lineage remains controversial. There is evidence that osteoclastic differentiation is induced through a contact-dependent interaction between bone marrow stromal cells and hematopoietic precursors. To analyze osteocla...
