Abstract excerpt
Mechanical unloading causes detrimental effects on the skeleton, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. We investigated the effect of microgravity on osteoblast ability to regulate osteoclastogenesis. Mouse osteoblast primary cultures were grown for 24 h at unit gravity or under simulat...
