Abstract excerpt
It has been reported that osteoclastic function is regulated by calcium-induced alterations in cytoplasmic free calcium ([Ca2+]i), possibly through a specific receptor. We have investigated whether osteoclasts, isolated from neonatal rat long bones, possess the divalent cation-receptor that has been demonstrated on parathyroid cells. Studies with fura-2 loaded adherent single cells showed that an increase in...
