C-C chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) is a co-receptor of macrophage-tropic viruses including HIV. Epidemiological and pathological findings have reported that functional changes in CCR5 correlate with HIV transmission bone destruction disease. However, the roles of CCR5 in bone pathophysiology have not been well documented.Ccr5-deficient osteoclasts showed decreased bone resorption activity accompanied with disorganized cellular architecture and impa...
