Genetic Background Strongly Influences the Bone Phenotype of P2X7 Receptor Knockout Mice
The purinergic P2X7 receptor is expressed by bone cells and has been shown to be important in both bone formation and bone resorption. In this study we investigated the importance of the genetic background of the mouse strains on which the P2X7 knock-out models were based by comparing bone status of...
