text: The counterpart to the osteoblast is the osteoclast, a cell which is responsible for breaking down bone.
text: Osteoclasts, cells that work to break down bone, resorb old bone that lines the medullary cavity.
text: Osteoclasts are cells that break down old bone cells to make way for osteoblasts to stimulate new bone growth.
text: According to the company, XGEVA is the first fully human monoclonal antibody that binds to and neutralizes RANK ligand (RANKL) - a protein essential for the formation, function and survival of osteoclasts , cells which break down bone - thereby inhibiting osteoclast-mediated bone destruction.
text: Osteoclasts are cells that break down old bone cells to make way for osteoblasts to stimulate new bone growth.
text: However, most BMP research focuses on the anabolic osteoinductive effects of BMPs on osteoblasts rather than its counterpart- stimulation of the osteoclasts, which are cells responsible for resorbing bone.
text: Normally, bone growth is a balance between osteoblasts (cells that create bone tissue) and osteoclasts (cells that destroy bone tissue).
text: Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for bone resorption and remodelling.
text: Despite the common misconception that the skeleton is immutable, it is, in fact, an ever-changing organ in which mass and shape are dictated by the activities of osteoblasts (the cells that are responsible for bone formation) and osteoclasts (the cells that are responsible for bone resorption).
text: Osteoclasts are the cells responsible for bone resorption, thus they break down bone.
text: Osteoblasts are the cells that actually create bone; osteoclasts are the cells that resorb, or break down and absorb, bone tissue back into the body.
