Extracellular pyrophosphate: The body's “water softener” (2020)
Journal Article
Orriss, I. R. (2020). Extracellular pyrophosphate: The body's “water softener”. BONE, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bone.2020.115243

Extracellular pyrophosphate (ePPi) was first identified as a key endogenous inhibitor of mineralisation in the 1960's by Fleisch and colleagues. The main source of ePPi seems to be extracellular ATP which is continually released from cells in a contr... Read More about Extracellular pyrophosphate: The body's “water softener”.

Mechanical strain-mediated reduction in RANKL expression is associated with RUNX2 and BRD2 (2020)
Journal Article
