Article title: "Inhibition of osteoclastogenesis by mechanically stimulated osteoblasts is attenuated during estrogen deficiency"
Authors: Hollie Allison and Laoise M. McNamara
From the authors: "In this study, we report for the first time that under combined mechanical loading and postmenopausal conditions, stimulated by either the withdrawal of estrogen or inhibiting the estrogen receptor, a significant increase in osteoblast-induced osteoclast differentiation and matrix degradation occurs."
This study is highlighted as one of October’s “best of the best” as part of the American Physiological Society’s APSselect program.
