Abstract: Nature. 2019 Apr;568(7753):541–545.In brief: Murine knockout studies unravel the developmental origin of osteoclasts in embryonic, erythro-myeloid progenitors, acquiring exceptional longevity by constant fusion with monocytes and rejuvenation of cellular nucleii throughout postnatal life.Comment: Osteoclast function is essentia...
