Absence of p21(WAF1/CIP1/SDI1) protects against osteopenia and minimizes bone loss after ovariectomy in a mouse model.

p21(WAF1/CIP1/SDI1) is a critical sentinel of the cell cycle that plays an important role in determining cell fate with respect to proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. Recent studies have demonstrated that inhibition/loss of p21 promotes osteo-chondro differentiation in progenitor/stem cell...
