Role of osteoprotegerin/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B/receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand axis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. [PDF]
Concomitantly with the increase in the prevalences of overweight/obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has worldwide become the main cause of chronic liver disease in both adults and children. Patients with fatty liver display features of metabolic syndrome (MetS), like insulin resistance (IR), glucose intolerance, hypertension and ...

The regulation of bone turnover in ameloblastoma using an organotypic in vitro co-culture model [PDF]
Ameloblastoma is a rare, odontogenic neoplasm with benign histopathology, but extensive, local infiltrative capacity through the bone tissue it originates in. While the mechanisms of ameloblastoma invasion through the bone and bone absorption are largely

Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B is enriched in CD9-positive extracellular vesicles released by osteoclasts. [PDF]
Aim: Receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B (RANK)-containing extracellular vesicles (EVs) bind RANK-Ligand (RANKL) on osteoblasts, and thereby simultaneously inhibit bone resorption and promote bone formation. Because of this, they are attractive candidates for therapeutic bone anabolic agents.
