RANKL Attenuates Sepsis-Associated Acute Lung Injury Through the OPG/RANKL/RANK/TLR4 Pathway. [PDF]
Pretreatment with recombinant RANKL can reduce lung damage in SA‐ALI mice by inhibiting inflammation. The mechanism may be related to the OPG/RANKL/RANK/TLR4 signaling pathway. These findings may provide new insights and targets for the treatment of SA‐ALI. ABSTRACT Background Sepsis‐associated acute lung injury (SA‐ALI) is a critical disease marked by

Effect of Low-magnitude, High-frequency Vibration on Osteocytes in the Regulation of Osteoclasts [PDF]
Osteocytes are well evidenced to be the major mechanosensor in bone, responsible for sending signals to the effector cells (osteoblasts and osteoclasts) that carry out bone formation and resorption. Consistent with this hypothesis, it has been shown that
