Break and then stand: novel insight into osteoclast functions in the skeletal system
The skeleton provides the scaffold to support body weight, enable body movement, control mineral homeostasis, and provide the location for hematopoiesis.

SMAD1/5 signaling in osteoclasts regulates bone formation via coupling factors. [PDF]
Bone remodeling occurs via coupling between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. The mechanisms that regulate osteoclast signals to osteoblasts are not well understood.

The Beta-Tubulin Isotype TUBB6 Controls Microtubule and Actin Dynamics in Osteoclasts
Osteoclasts are bone resorbing cells that participate in the maintenance of bone health. Pathological increase in osteoclast activity causes bone loss, eventually resulting in osteoporosis.

The bone resorbing osteoclasts are a complex type of cell essential for in vivo bone remodeling. There is no consensus on medium composition and seeding density for in vitro osteoclastogenesis, despite the importance thereof on osteoclastic ...

Macrophages and osteoclasts: similarity and divergence between bone phagocytes
Both macrophages and osteoclasts are vital immune components of the bone microenvironment. While macrophages play an essential role in phagocytosis, pathogen clearance and tissue remodeling, osteoclasts are well described for their bone resorption ...

A novel assay for analysis of the regulation of the function of human osteoclasts.
BACKGROUND: Very little is known of the regulation of the function of human osteoclasts, largely due to the virtual impossibility of obtaining human osteoclasts ex vivo.

Osteoclasts and hematopoiesis [PDF]
The skeletal tissue is closely associated with the hematopoietic tissue lodged in its inner cavities. Besides the well-known role of the endosteal osteoblasts in the maintenance of the hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) niche, it is an emerging concept that osteoclasts are involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis as well, although published data are ...

We previously demonstrated that mice with targeted deletion of the leucine repeat rich kinase 1 (Lrrk1) gene were osteopetrotic due to the failure of osteoclasts to resorb bone.

Osteoclast Fusion and Fission [PDF]
Osteoclasts are specialized multinucleated cells with the unique capacity to resorb bone. Despite insight into the various steps of the interaction of osteoclast precursors leading to osteoclast formation, surprisingly little is known about what happens with the multinucleated cell itself after it has been formed.

Osteoclasts are bone-resorbing cells that play essential roles in both physiological bone remodeling and pathological bone resorption. Inflammation serves as a significant inducer of pathological bone resorption.
