Bone marrow adipogenic lineage precursors (MALPs) promote osteoclastogenesis in bone remodeling and pathologic bone loss

Bone is maintained by coupled activities of bone-forming osteoblasts/osteocytes and bone-resorbing osteoclasts and an alternation of this relationship can lead to pathologic bone loss such as in osteoporosis. It is well known that osteogenic cells support osteoclastogenesis via synthesizing RANKL. Interestingly, our recently identified bone marrow mesenchymal cell population-marrow adipogenic…
