nuclear estrogen related receptors (ERRs), which have two main isoforms: ERRα and ERRγ. ERRs isoforms are expressed in several components of human articular tissue including chondrocytes, subchondral osteoblasts, synovial lining cells, ligaments, and lining cells.34 Studies have shown that ERRs are significantly associated with

nuclear factor kB ligand, are responsible for remodeling and releasing growth factors from bone.18 It is theorized that the release of growth factors from bone provides a favorable environment for circulating tumor cells to attach and regenerate, a process known as metastatic bone disease

important to consider the new occurrence of a secondary cause of osteoporosis (see Tables 7.1 and 7.2). An underlying disease might be the root cause rather than failure of therapy. There is no clear algorithm guiding when one should switch from an antiresorptive to a bone formation therapy; therefore, this
