## Abstract Mechanical unloading causes detrimental effects on the skeleton, but the underlying mechanisms are still unclear. We investigated the effect of microgravity on osteoblast ability to regulate osteoclastogenesis. Mouse osteoblast primary cultures were grown for 24 h at unit gravity or und
T he receptor activator of NF-kB (RANK), its cognate ligand (RANKL), and the secreted decoy receptor osteoprotegrin (OPG) are critical molecules that regulate bone remodeling through modulation of osteoclast differentiation and function. (1) The former is expressed on the surface of the myeloid prec
