ConclusionsThe concerns expressed here, as well as those noted by others in recent reviews, underscore the confusion that has entered the literature regarding the role of osteoclasts, as distinct from that of mononuclear phagocytes, in bone resorption. This confusion could be resolved if the following suggestions are adopted. First, the term “resorption” or “bone resorption” should be reserved for describing a process of bone removal in which osteoclasts are the primary function cell type. Second, the term osteoclast should be used to define a bone-resorbing cell characterized by the criteria presented earlier. Third, until unambiguous evidence is provided, it must not be assumed that cells of the mononuclear phagocyte series, such as peripheral blood monocytes or elicited peritoneal macrophages, are osteoclast precursors.
