| 31. | For instance, PTH also indirectly stimulates osteoclasts.
|
| 32. | Osteoclasts are large, multinucleated bone cells that conduct the process of bone resorption.
|
| 33. | Osteoclasts are prominent in the tissue destruction found in psoriatic arthritis and rheumatology disorders.
|
| 34. | Inhibition of the expression of " mTOR " can stop osteoclast activity.
|
| 35. | As osteoclasts break down bone, patients see a loss of bone mineral density.
|
| 36. | Activation of RANK by RANKL promotes the maturation of pre-osteoclasts into osteoclasts.
|
| 37. | Activation of RANK by RANKL promotes the maturation of pre-osteoclasts into osteoclasts.
|
| 38. | This protein functions as an autocrine factor which heightens osteoclast formation and bone resorption.
|
| 39. | Bone erosion caused by mature osteoclast cells is common in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
|
| 40. | Normally, bone removed by osteoclasts is replaced quickly by other cells, the osteoblasts.
