Deskripsi

Selenoproteins containing selenium have a variety of physiological functions including redox homeostasis and thyroid hormone metabolism. Here, the authors show that RANKL-dependent repression of selenoprotein W regulates cell fusion during osteoclast differentiation and bone remodelling in mice.
