Mechanical Properties of Bone Due to SOST Expression: A 3-Point Bending Assessment of Murine Femurs
Sclerostin, a protein coded for by the SOST gene, is an osteocyte-expressed negative regulator of bone formation. The absence of SOST in the genome may have an effect on bone formation both during skeletal maturation and full maturity. This study attempts to determine significant differences in the...
