Novel Genetic Models of Osteoporosis by Overexpression of Human RANKL in Transgenic Mice
11 Oct 2013
Abstract excerpt
Receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) plays a key role in osteoclast-induced bone resorption across a range of degenerative bone diseases, and its specific inhibition has been recently approved as a treatment for women with postmenopausal osteoporosis at high or increased risk of fracture in the United States and globally.
