Abstract
The cell membrane structure is closely related to the occurrence and progression of many metabolic bone diseases observed in the clinic and is an important target to the development of therapeutic strategies for these diseases. Strong experimental evidence supports the existence of membrane microdomains in osteoclasts (OCs). However, the potential membrane microdomains and the crucial mechanisms underlying their roles in OCs have not been fully characterized. Membrane microdomain components, such as scaffolding proteins and the actin cytoskeleton, as well as the roles of individual membrane proteins, need to be elucidated. In this review, we discuss the compositions and critical functions of membrane microdomains that determine the biological behavior of OCs through the three main stages of the OC life cycle.
期刊介绍:
Established in 2013, Bone Research is a newly-founded English-language periodical that centers on the basic and clinical facets of bone biology, pathophysiology, and regeneration. It is dedicated to championing key findings emerging from both basic investigations and clinical research concerning bone-related topics. The journal's objective is to globally disseminate research in bone-related physiology, pathology, diseases, and treatment, contributing to the advancement of knowledge in this field.
