Integrins and Reorganization of Osteoclast Cytoskeleton under Orthodontic Force
Jie Feng, Yang Xu, Li Xu, Qiuyue Guan, Zheng Wang, Ding Bai & Xianglong Han · Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research · 2015
Integrins are mechanoreceptors and mediate mechanotransduction by transferring forces into focal adhesions. Osteoclastogenesis starts with adhesion to the bone matrix, leading to cytoskeleton reorganization that is important for osteoclast polarization and migration. However, the...
