The p38α MAPK function in osteoprecursors is required for bone formation and bone homeostasis in adult mice.
p38 MAPK activity plays an important role in several steps of the osteoblast lineage progression through activation of osteoblast-specific transcription factors and it is also essential for the acquisition of the osteoblast phenotype in early development. Although reports indicate p38 signalling pla...
