title: [BMP and osteoclastogenesis].
abstract: Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP)-2 markedly enhanced osteoclast differentiation and survival supported by receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB ligand (RANKL). RANKL expressed by osteoblasts is a requirement for osteoclastogenesis, osteoblasts also play important roles in osteoclastogenesis through offering the critical microenvironment for the action of RANKL.
