Research Abstract |
In the present study, we generated transgenic mice with osteoblasts that express anti-apoptotic BCL-X_L. In BCL-X_L transgenic mice, bone volume was increased at 10 weeks of age and recognized maintenance of the bone volume at aging mice. In the recent aging society, bone volume decrease by the osteoporosis becomes the big social problem, therefore Bcl-X_L may become the target for the osteoporosis treatment in the future.
