The present invention relates to genes induced by mechanical stress and to functional equivalents thereof, for example from humans and mice, to probes intended for these genes, to analyzes making it possible to identify them, products of expression of these genes, uses of these genes and their products of expression, for example in the diagnosis (as in the determination of risks), the treatment, the prevention or the regulation of osteoporosis or factors or processes leading to osteoporosis; and methods or processes for diagnosis, treatment, prevention or regulation, as well as compositions therefor and methods or processes for making and using the aforementioned compositions, receptors for these genes and methods for obtaining and using the aforementioned receptors. |
