Nucleotides as regulators of bone cell function and mineralisation

Most cells, including bone cells, release ATP into the extracellular environment. A considerable body of previous work has shown that ATP, acting through the P2 receptors, inhibits bone formation by osteoblasts and increases bone resorption by osteoclasts. This work focuses on the action of two key...
