The cells of the bone and the immune system communicate by cytokines and growth factors. The discovery of the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK) signalling pathway in osteoclasts provides a deeper understanding of osteoclastogenesis, mechanisms of the activation of bone resorption, and how bone structure and mass are affected by hormones.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessOsteoclast differentiationosteoclast activationbone resorptionRANK signallingReview Article1211712WOS:000217291500005N/A
