Mechanical stress directly suppresses osteoclast differentiation in RAW264.7 cells

Abstract excerpt

Although it is known that mechanical stress to osteoblast and periodontal ligament cells suppresses osteoclast differentiation, little is known about the direct effect of mechanical stress on osteoclast differentiation. In this study, we examined the role of mechanical stress on osteoclast differentiation using murine pre-osteoclastic RAW264.7 cells treated with receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand...
