## Abstract The aim of this study was to determine the effects of alendronate (ALN) on osteoclastic resorption of Ξ²βtricalcium phosphate (Ξ²βTCP) and bone formation. Ξ²βTCP blocks of 75% porosity, with or without ALN treatment, were implanted into cavities drilled in rabbit femoral condyles. New bone
## Abstract In vitro studies have shown that CD44 is involved in the fusion process of osteoclast precursor cells. Yet, in vivo studies do not support this, since an osteopetrotic phenotype has not been described for CD44 knockβout (CD44 k.o.) mice. This discrepancy may suggest that the role of CD4
