Moesin strikes an “Actin”g balance to regulate osteoclast fusion and activity
Key aspects of osteoclast fusion and its coupling with bone resorption activity are lacking. In this issue, Dufrancias and colleagues (https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.202409169) shed new light on the mechanism underpinning osteoclast fusion and activity, highlighting the critical role of the ERM family member moesin in this important process.
