## Abstract Earlier reports showed that the balance between receptor activator of nuclear factor‐κB ligand (RANKL) and its decoy‐receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG) plays an important role in the pathogenesis of metastatic osteolysis induced by neuroblastoma cells. In this study, we investigated whether
## Abstract ## Objective To demonstrate the effects of disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs and antiinflammatory cytokines on human osteoclastogenesis through their effects on receptor activator of nuclear factor κB (RANK), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and RANK ligand (RANKL). ## Methods Peripheral b
## Background: The current review summarizes the roles of the ligand, receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappab ligand (rankl), its receptor, receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappab (rank), and its decoy receptor, osteoprotegerin (opg), on osteoclast biology and bone resorption. furthermore,
