Abstract
The combined resorptive activity of osteoclasts and the bone-generating function of osteoblasts result in the constant renewal of this vital tissue. It has long been appreciated that the coupled degradation and formation of bone is coordinately regulated by a complex interplay between endocrine and paracrine effectors; a recent report by now documents the possibility that cannabinoid receptors may also impact bone mass.
