Abstract

<abstract> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>In recent decades, many studies have highlighted the role of IL-17-producing cells in bone resorption. However, the importance of many IL-17-producing cell types remains largely unknown in bone remodeling. In this review, we summarize the function of IL-17-producing cells, with a focus on T helper 17 (Th17) cells, in bone resorption and remodeling.</p> </abstract>
