   03-27-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Breaking down bone is a tough job; however, our bones undergo remodeling every day. In diseases such as osteoporosis, an imbalance in this process is responsible for bone loss. New research reveals how osteoclasts move around the bone until they reach a site where their services are required, at which point they undergo a transformation called polarization. The polarized osteoclast sticks tightly to the bone, while an impermeable ring forms around the cell perimeter.
