Mechanical tibial loading remotely suppresses brain tumors by dopamine-mediated downregulation of CCN4

Abstract Mechanical loading to the bone is known to be beneficial for bone homeostasis and for suppressing tumor-induced osteolysis in the loaded bone. However, whether loading to a weight-bearing hind limb can inhibit distant tumor growth in the brain is unknown. We examined the possibility of bone...
