Abstract

Background: Smoking is a risk factor for osteoporosis, but the mechanisms remain unclear. Human osteoclasts can resorb bone in two modes, the aggressive trench-mode and the slower pit-mode. Recently, we have shown1 that e.g. donors’ age correlate with osteoclast trench-mode in vitro suggesting an epigenetic regulation through monocytes.
