Notch Signaling in Osteocytes Differentially Regulates Cancellous and Cortical Bone Remodeling
25 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
Notch receptors play a role in skeletal development and homeostasis, and Notch activation in undifferentiated and mature osteoblasts causes osteopenia. In contrast, Notch activation in osteocytes increases bone mass, but the mechanisms involved and exact functions of Notch are not known. In this study, Notch1 and - 2 were inactivated preferentially in osteocytes by mating Notch1/2 conditional mice, where Notch...
