SnapShot: Osteoimmunology

Cell Metab. 2015 Mar 3;21(3):502.e1. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2015.02.001.

Abstract

Bone and the immune system interact with each other and share molecular mechanisms to maintain the homeostasis. The paradigm of the osteoimmune system is required for both bone biology and immunology, providing an essential framework for understanding the physiology and pathology of metabolic bone diseases and immunological disorders.
