Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

H. Herschel Conaway's research focuses on the mechanisms of bone resorption and osteoclast formation. His work investigates the influence of various hormones and cellular factors on these processes. Recent publications include studies on the synergistic interactions between glucocorticoids, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D3 in stimulating osteoclast activity, as well as the role of Vitamin A in enhancing periosteal osteoclastogenesis and its association with tissue-derived macrophages and osteoclast progenitors.

Conaway's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 17, with a total of 37 publications and 1,665 citations. He is actively publishing, with his most recent work appearing in 2024.
