Abstract
Bone remodeling is the result of the coordinated activity of osteoblasts, which form new matrix, and osteoclasts, which resorb bone. Notch proteins are single-pass transmembrane receptors that determine cell fate. Recent gain-of-function and loss-of-function experiments reveal a suppressive effect of Notch in osteoblast and osteoclast differentiation in development and in the postnatal bone, which establishes a role for Notch signaling in bone remodeling.
