Bone is not essential for osteoclast activation.
The mechanism whereby bone activates resorptive behavior in osteoclasts, the cells that resorb bone, is unknown. It is known that α(v)β(3) ligands are important, because blockade of α(v)β(3) receptor signaling inhibits bone resorption, but this might be through inhibition of adhesion or migration ra...
