Osteoimmunology: shared mechanisms and crosstalk between the immune and bone systems

Takayanagi, Hiroshi·2007·Nature Reviews Immunology

Abstract

Osteoimmunology is an interdisciplinary research field focused on the molecular understanding of the interplay between the immune and skeletal systems. Although osteoimmunology started with the study of the immune regulation of osteoclasts, its scope has been extended to encompass a wide range of molecular and cellular interactions, including those between osteoblasts and osteoclasts, lymphocytes and osteoclasts, and osteoblasts and haematopoietic cells. Therefore, the two systems should be understood to be integrated and operating in the context of the 'osteoimmune' system, a heuristic concept that provides not only a framework for obtaining new insights by basic research, but also a scientific basis for the discovery of novel treatments for diseases related to both systems.

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • sRANKL or mRANKL produced by osteogenic cells binds RANK on osteoclast precursors to activate TRAF signaling, especially TRAF 2, 5, 6, which trigger NF-κB activation.

    “sRANKL or mRANKL produced by osteogenic cells binds to RANK on osteoclast precursors to activate intracellular signaling of tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factors (TRAFs), especially TRAF 2, 5, 6, which are adapter molecules that trigger NF-κB activation.162”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
