Antiresorptive Agents for Osteoporosis

https://media.uaf.edu/media/t/

My project is about osteoporosis management through antiresorptive agents, or drugs, that are prescribed to slow osteoclast resorption.

The osteoclast are the large multinuclear cells with the ruffled edges and the osteoclast are the smaller unicellular ones. They are working on trabecular bone. They are such cute little cells, that I had to turn them into a lantern.

Or the message that was meant for the arms, to the arms.
