Abstract:Background
A decrease in bone mass has been described in a high percentage with increased risk of osteoporosis in JIA subtypes. The pathogenesis of bone loss in active JIA is complex, and results in reduced bone mineral density. Recent data have indicated an overlapping pathway between bone biology and biology of inflammation giving impression that inflammation may have a role in pathology of osteoporosis. Understanding the role of OPG/RANK/RANKL modulation in pathogenesis of bone loss among JIA subtypes will … Show more
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.
