Current Topics in Pharmacological Research on Bone Metabolism: Inhibitory Effects of Bisphosphonates on the Differentiation and Activity of Osteoclasts
Abstract.: Despite the extensive use of bisphosphonates (BPs) in the treatment of metabolic bone diseases associated with increased osteoclastic bone resorption, the precise mechanism of their action on bone metabolism is still unclear. To clarify at which stages of osteoclast differentiation and ac...
