B Cell Production of Both OPG and RANKL is Significantly Increased in Aged Mice

Aging is a risk factor for osteoclastic bone loss and bone fracture. Receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) is the key effector cytokine for osteoclastogenesis and bone resorption, and is moderated by its decoy receptor osteoprotegerin (OPG).
