How can you use “rankl” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In the present study we analyzed cytokine (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10, IL-13, IFN-γ , TNF-α , and LT-α ), activation marker (CD154 [CD40 ligand] and TRANCE - also called receptor activator of nuclear factor κ B ligand [RANKL] or osteoclast differentiation factor [ODF]), and chemokine receptor expression by individual CD4 +memory T cells isolated from rheumatoid synovium and blood.
In the case of circulating or peripheral macrophages that have not encountered osteoclastogenic quantities of RANKL, IFN-γ rapidly induces macrophage activation and subsequent NO production, recruiting these cells for immune responses.
The molecular mechanisms underlying the contrasting effects of IFN-γ and RANKL remain elusive.
It is possible that RANKL and IFN-γ expression by activated T cells may be a major mechanism by which T cells control the fate of osteoclasts, and that relative expression of both molecules will dictate whether osteoclasts are induced or inhibited.
