Roles of hyaluronan in bone resorption [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2004 Background Hyaluronan, an unsulfated glycosaminoglycan, while being closely linked to osteoclast function several years ago, has received little attention lately. Given recent new knowledge of hyaluronan's possible cell binding abilities, it is important

Investigation of bone resorption within a cortical basic multicellular unit using a lattice-based computational model [PDF]
Bone 50, 378-389 (2012), 2011 In this paper we develop a lattice-based computational model focused on bone resorption by osteoclasts in a single cortical basic multicellular unit (BMU). Our model takes into account the interaction of osteoclasts with the bone matrix, the interaction of osteoclasts with each other, the generation of osteoclasts from a growing blood vessel, and the ...

Control of bone resorption by semaphorin 4D is dependent on ovarian function. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Osteoporosis is one of the most common bone pathologies, which are characterized by a decrease in bone mass. It is well established that bone mass, which results from a balanced bone formation and bone resorption, is regulated by many hormonal ...

P38 mitogen-activated protein kinase inhibitor, FR167653, inhibits parathyroid hormone related protein-induced osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) acts downstream in the signaling pathway that includes receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK), a powerful inducer of osteoclast formation and activation.

Alterations in osteoclast function and phenotype induced by different inhibitors of bone resorption - implications for osteoclast quality [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2010 Background Normal osteoclasts resorb bone by secretion of acid and proteases. Recent studies of patients with loss of function mutations affecting either of these processes have indicated a divergence in osteoclastic phenotypes.

Autophagy Regulator Rufy 4 Promotes Osteoclastic Bone Resorption by Orchestrating Cytoskeletal Organization via Its RUN Domain [PDF]
CellsRufy4, a protein belonging to the RUN and FYVE domain-containing protein family, participates in various cellular processes such as autophagy and intracellular trafficking. However, its role in osteoclast-mediated bone resorption remains uncertain.

Experimental model in vivo for quantitative assessment of bone resorption inhibition. [PDF]
, 1993 Quantitative assessment of bone resorption inhibition in vivo is not easily accomplished; methods relying on a count of osteoclasts are questionable, and histomorphometric evaluation of the bone mass presents several technical problems as well.
