Glucocorticoid signalling exerts distinct lineage-permissive and dose-dependent disruptive actions during human osteoblast differentiation

At physiological levels glucocorticoid (GC) signalling within the osteoblast lineage has been proposed to be required for skeletal homeostasis, whereas supraphysiological activation supresses bone formation and causes bone loss. While these observations suggest that GC exert dose- and context-dependent effects, the mol...
