RANK and RANK Ligand Expression in Parotid Gland Carcinomas [PDF]
Recently, it has been reported that deregulation of the receptor activator of NFkB ligand (RANKL)/RANK signaling axis results in salivary gland tumor development in a mouse transgenic model. The aim of this study was to ascertain RANKL and RANK protein expression in a series of primary parotid gland carcinomas and to correlate it with clinicopathologic

Dysregulated Osteoprotegerin/RANK Ligand/RANK Axis in Clinical and Experimental Heart Failure [PDF]
Background— Persistent inflammation appears to play a role in the development of heart failure (HF). Osteoprotegerin (OPG), the receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK), and RANK ligand (RANKL) are newly discovered members of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily that are critical regulators in

The role of rank-ligand inhibition in the treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a skeletal disease affecting millions of people worldwide in which a decreased bone mass and a microarchitectural deterioration compromise bone strength leading to bone fragility and increased susceptibility to fracture.

Self-Assembled RANK Induces Osteoclastogenesis Ligand-Independently
Abstract By immunoprecipitation assay, we showed that mouse RANK was self-assembled through its cytoplasmic domain located at position 534–539, whose domain was different form TRAF binding domains. Moreover, overexpression experiments showed that oligomeric RANK, which was self-associated, induced osteoclastogenesis ligand-independently.
