Communication between osteoblasts and osteoclasts is crucial for bone remodeling. Thrombin and its thrombin receptor (TR; PAR-1) are expressed in osteoclasts and osteoblasts, respectively. To date, the physiological roles of thrombin and TR in bone metabolism have not been elucidated. Therefore, we fully characterized the bone phenotype of mice lacking the thrombin receptor.We performed bone microarchitectural analyses of the femurs of 1012 week ol...
