Osteoprotegerin Regulates Pancreatic β-Cell Homeostasis upon Microbial Invasion.

Osteoprotegerin Regulates Pancreatic β-Cell Homeostasis upon Microbial Invasion.

Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a decoy receptor for receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), antagonizes RANKL's osteoclastogenic function in bone. We previously demonstrated that systemic administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) to mice elevates OPG levels and reduces RANKL levels in peripheral b...
