Studies have shown that differentiated embryo-chondrocyte expressed gene 1(DEC1)promotes osteoblast osteogenesis.To investigate the role of DEC1 in postmenopausal osteoporosis,we used the two genotypes of mice(Dec1+/+...
Emerging evidence illustrates that osteoclasts(OCs)play diverse roles beyond bone resorption,contributing signifi-cantly to bone formation and regeneration.Despite this,OCs remain mysterious cells,with aspects of thei...
