In just 3 years, striking new advances have been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern the crosstalk between osteoblasts/stromal cells and hemopoietic osteoclast precursor cells that leads to osteoclastogenesis. Led first by the discovery of osteoprotegerin (OPG), a naturally occurring protein with potent osteoclastogenesis inhibitory activity, rapid progress...
