Cytokines and estrogen in bone: anti-osteoporotic effects
Article Abstract:
Research indicates that estrogen has an anti-osteoporotic effect because the female hormone governs cytokine action, which regulates bone remodeling. As estrogen levels decline, cytokine secretion increases, leading to increased osteoclast formation and bone resorption.

Journey across the osteoclast
Article Abstract:
Recent research offers insight into the bone resorption process. Stephen Nesbitt and Michael Horton and Jari Salo et al found that osteoclasts pick up degraded bone proteins at the ruffled border and transcytose them in vesicles to the opposite free surface.

New role for estrogen in cancer?
Article Abstract:
Scientists have discovered evidence that metabolic byproducts produced by estrogen in the body may cause initiating mutations for cancer. Previous studies have linked the female hormone to the formation of the five most common forms of cancer in women.
