| Research Abstract |
This research project was performed aiming at investigating new molecular mechanisms using Id2-knockout mouse-derived osteoclasts/ osteoblasts and small-molecules. We found that small-molecule harmine is a potent activator of NFATc1 due to its interference with the functions of the protein kinase DYRK1A in osteoclast progenitors, and via its induction of Id2 expression, thus leading to the disruption of the fusion events mediating osteoclastogenesis.
