Abstract

Strontium ranelate (SrRan) is an anti-osteoporotic treatment that reduces the risk of vertebral and hip fractures. Recent in vitro studies suggest that the effect of strontium ranelate on osteoblastic cell growth likely involves two processes including activation of the calcium sensing receptor (CaSR) and a yet undefined mechanism. In the present study, we investigated the CaSR-independent molecular mechanism by which SrRan stimulates osteoblast growth.
