Signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (Stat3) is a transcription factor expressed in many cell types including osteoblasts, osteocytes, and osteoclasts. STAT3 mutations cause a rare human immunodeficiency disease that presents reduced bone mineral density and recurrent pathological fractures. To investigate the role of Stat3 in load-driven bone metabolism, two strains of osteoblast/osteocyte-selective Stat3 knockout (KO) mice were generated. Compared to age-matched littermate controls, this selective inactivation of Stat3 significantly lowered bone mineral density (7-12%, p
