Green tea polyphenol EGCg induces cell fusion via reactive oxygen species

Background: Osteoclasts are multinucleated cells formed by macrophage cell fusion that are responsible for bone resorption. Previously, we found that treating osteoclastic progenitor cells with (−)-epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) increased cell fusion. In this study, we aimed to identify factors inv...
