Giant cell formation and function

3 Dec 2008

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE OF REVIEW: To provide insight into the current state of understanding regarding the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the formation and function of various types of multinucleated giant cells. RECENT FINDINGS: Recent studies involving mainly osteoclasts and foreign body giant cells have revealed a number of common factors, for example, vitronectin, an adhesion protein, dendritic cell-specific...
