CYLD, a mechanosensitive deubiquitinase, regulates TGFβ signaling in load-induced bone formation

Many signaling pathways involved in bone homeostasis also participate in the anabolic response of bone to mechanical loading. For example, TGFβ signaling coordinates the maintenance of bone mass and bone quality through its effects on osteoblasts, osteoclasts, and osteocytes. TGFβ signaling is also essential for the mechanosensitive formation of new bone. However, the mechanosensitive mechanisms controlling TGFβ signaling in osteocytes remain to...
