| Research Abstract |
Bone is remodeled by osteoclastic bone resorption and osteoblastic bone formation. I hypothesized that some Wnts were involved in coupling between osteoblasts and osteoclasts. At first, I tried to demonstrate an Wnt secreted from osteoclasts stimulate bone formation activity of osteoblasts. But this trial was false. Second, I analyzed expression level of Wnt related genes in tibia from mice. I revealed that expression level of some Wnt related genes were changed age-dependently.
