Abstract
Bone homeostasis is strictly regulated by the balance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. Many studies have shown that osteoclasts affect osteoblasts, and vice versa, through diffusible paracrine factors, cell-cell contact, and cell-bone matrix interactions to achieve the correct balance between osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities in the basic multicellular unit (BMU). The strict regulation that occurs during bone remodeling hinders the long-term use of the currently available antiresorptive agents and anabolic agents for the treatment of osteoporosis. To overcome these limitations, it is necessary to develop novel agents that simultaneously inhibit bone resorption, promote bone formation, and decouple resorption from formation. Therefore, a more detailed understanding of the mechanisms involved in osteoclast-osteoblast communication during bone remodeling is necessary.
