Abstract: Nature. 2018 Sep;561(7722):195–200.In brief: This study used various cell-based methods and animal models to investigate the RANK-RANKL signaling pathway in bone homeostasis. The authors show for the first time, that reverse signaling exists from osteoclast to osteoblast and that vesicular RANK, secreted by the osteoclast, relays information to the osteoblast...
