## Abstract Fluid shear stress protects cells from TNFβΞ±βinduced apoptosis. Oscillatory fluid shear stress (OFSS) is generally perceived as physiologically relevant biophysical signal for bone cells. Here we identify several cellular mechanisms responsible for mediating the protective effects of OF

## Abstract The Runx2 factor is an essential component of the regulatory mechanisms that control transcription during skeletogenesis. Runx2/p57 expression in osteoblastic cells is controlled by the P1 promoter, which is recognized by key regulators of osteoblast differentiation including homeodomai
Core binding factor alpha 1 (Cbfa1) is an osteoblast-specific transcription factor essential to develop a mature osteoblast phenotype. However, its exact role in the signaling of various osteotropic-differentiating agents is still unclear. In this study, we assessed the effects of 1,25-(OH)(2)-D3 (D
