## Abstract The ability to deliver calcium to the osteoid is critical to osteoblast function as a regulator of bone calcification. There are two known transmembrane proteins capable of translocating calcium out of the osteoblast, the Na^+^/Ca^2+^ exchanger (NCX) and the plasma membrane Ca^2+^βATPas
Expression and function of Na+/Ca2+ exchangers 1 and 3 in human macrophages and monocytes

## Abstract ## Objective RANKL, a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, is a central regulator of osteoclast recruitment and activation. Whether RANKL affects monocyte locomotion in vitro via RANK and a possible signaling pathway were investigated. ## Methods Monocytes were obtained f
Bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) has been shown to induce a wide variety of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines. An initial challenge with minute amounts of LPS causes tolerance to later LPS effects which is characterized by a much lower or abrogated release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. To
