Abstract excerpt
Monocytes differentiate into osteoclasts through stimulation of receptor activator of NF-kappaB (RANK). Many downstream effectors of RANK play a positive role in osteoclastogenesis, but their relative importance in osteoclast differentiation is unclear. We report the discovery that activation of a single pathway downstream of RANK is sufficient for osteoclast differentiation. In this regard, introduction of...
