28 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
Osteoclasts, the bone resorbing cells, play a key role both in normal bone remodeling and in the skeletal osteopenia of arthritis, osteoporosis, periodontal disease and certain malignancies. Osteoclast cellular commitment, differentiation and function depend upon the establishment of specific patterns of gene expression achieved through networks of transcription factors activated by osteoclastogenic cytokines....
