## Abstract During recent decades, the survival rate after childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) has improved substantially; consequently, the long‐term side effects of ALL and its treatment have gained attention, of which osteoporosis is one of the most important. The purpose of the present

Glucocorticoids inhibit the proliferation, but induce the differentiation, of bone marrow stromal cells into osteoblast-like cells. The mechanisms, however, are still conjectural. Since insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) have profound effects on osteoblast growth and differentiation, it is possible
## Abstract ## Background and Objective We previously reported that low‐intensity laser irradiation stimulated bone nodule formation through enhanced cellular proliferation and differentiation. However, the mechanisms of irradiation are unclear. Thus, we attempted to determine the responsibility o
## Abstract Insulin‐like growth factor‐I (IGF‐I) promotes bone formation by stimulating proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts. Bone sialoprotein (BSP), is thought to function in the initial mineralization of bone, is selectively expressed by differentiated osteoblast. To determine the mo
## Abstract Integrin receptors bind extracellular matrix proteins, and this link between the cell membrane and the surrounding matrix may translate skeletal loading to biologic activity in osteoprogenitor cells. The interaction between integrin and growth factor receptors allows for mechanically in
