Characterization of a spontaneous osteopetrosis model using RANKL-dysfunctional mice.

Abstract excerpt

Tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 11 (TNFSF11), or receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL), is a crucial osteoclast-stimulating factor binding to RANK on osteoclast membranes. Mouse models are powerful tools for understanding the genetic mechanisms of related diseases. Here, we examined the utility of Tnfsf11 mutation in mice for understanding the mechanisms of bone remodeling and...
