Molecular aspects of osteoclast function

T J Hall et al. Inflamm Res. 1996 Jan.

Abstract

In this article we have overviewed recent important advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in osteoclastic bone resorption. Specifically, new findings relating to osteoclast activation and the process of bone resorption are reviewed and a current overall model of how osteoclasts resorb bone is presented. Controversial research topics concerning the regulation of osteoclast activity are also critically discussed.
