An osteoclast (from Ancient Greek ὀστέον (osteon) 'bone', and κλαστός (clastos) 'broken') is a type of bone cell that breaks down bone tissue. This function...

activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE), osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL), and osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF), is a protein that in humans is encoded by...

resorption is resorption of bone tissue, that is, the process by which osteoclasts break down the tissue in bones and release the minerals, resulting in...

osteocytes are involved in the formation and mineralisation of bone; osteoclasts are involved in the resorption of bone tissue. Modified (flattened) osteoblasts...

Osteoclast stimulatory transmembrane protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the OCSTAMP gene. GRCh38: Ensembl release 89: ENSG00000149635 –...

understood. It is postulated that osteoclasts are the cells responsible for the resorption of the root surface. Osteoclasts can break down bone, cartilage...

body. Osteoclasts are frequently classified and discussed separately from other MGCs which are more closely linked with disease. Non-osteoclast MGCs can...

Chambers he developed the osteoclast lacunar bone resorption assay system. His work was the first to show that the human osteoclast shares specific surface...

mechanisms. Under normal circumstances, TRAP is highly expressed by osteoclasts, activated macrophages, neurons, and by the porcine endometrium during...

New bone is deposited by osteoblast cells and resorbed or destroyed by osteoclast cells. This addition and subtraction of bone usually yields no net change...
