Specific knockout of Stat3 in osteocytes suppresses loading induced bone formation.
Stat3 deficiency in osteocytes decreases the material properties of femur.
Stat3 inhibitor causes Reactive Oxidative Species (ROS) accumulation in MLO-Y4 osteocytes.
Stat3 inhibitor blocked ATP-induced intracellular calcium influx into MLO-Y4 osteocytes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
