Apelin/APJ system: A novel therapeutic target for oxidative stress-related inflammatory diseases (Review).

abstract：:Osteoporosis is a bone disease that poses a tremendous burden to health care. The receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANK) and its ligand (RANKL) have been a major focus of this research field. RANKL signaling not only activates a variety of downstream signaling pathways required for osteoclast development, but ...
