Therapeutic ionizing radiation induced bone loss: a review of in vivo and in vitro findings.

abstract：:Objective: Interleukin-17 (IL-17), produced by T helper (Th)-17 cells, is a potent regulator of bone homeostasis. Osteoblasts are key cells that orchestrate inflammatory bone destruction and bone remodeling. This study examines the effect of different concentrations of IL-17 on osteogenesis and receptor activator of n...
