Evaluation of the osteoclasotgenic mechanisms that are altered by immunomodulation University of Glasgow Past award Student: Sana Rintala : University of Glasgow Year Award Started: 2012 Bone ersoion is a feature of many diseases including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoporosis and multiple myeloma. The bone-eating cells (osteoclasts) responsible for this process, and the cells that they mature from, are found in greater numbers in the diseased condition. Strategies that can target this aspect of the disease process are of intense interest. We have recently found a therapeutic that can manipulate this process through the regulation of the cellular pathways that control the fate of the precursors of osteoclasts. The proposed study will examine this mechanisms underlying this regulation.
