OSTEOCLASTS, which are present only in bone, are multinucleated giant cells with the
capacity to resorb mineralized tissues. During the past decade, several new approaches have …

The strength and integrity of our bones depends on maintaining a delicate balance between
bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. As we age or as a result …

… However, perching time may not reflect loafing but rather an important time commitment
to reproductive success (T. Martin, unpublished ms.) Thus, the status of food limitation in …

… , Michael Murrin, Malcolm Gladwell, Bruce Headlam, and the entire Martin clan, and above
all my parents, Lloyd and Delphine Martin. The research for this book was supported by the …

IL-17 is a newly discovered T cell–derived cytokine whose role in osteoclast development has
not been fully elucidated. Treatment of cocultures of mouse hemopoietic cells and primary …

We report the design and evaluation of PCR primers 63f and 1387r for amplification of 16S
rRNA genes from bacteria. Their specificity and efficacy were tested systematically with a …

The Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) is a hyperspectral
imager on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft. CRISM consists of three …

Osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF, also called RANKL/TRANCE/OPGL) stimulates the
differentiation of osteoclast progenitors of the monocyte/macrophage lineage into osteoclasts in …

Species distribution models (SDMs) are increasingly proposed to support conservation
decision making. However, evidence of SDMs supporting solutions for on‐ground conservation …

… The production of anti-inflammatory cytokines, mainly IL-10 by macrophages and certain
types of T cells (Th2 and regulatory T cells) and B cells (105), represents another mechanism …
