Bone corticalization requires local SOCS3 activity and is promoted by androgen action via interleukin-6

The strength of long bones is determined by coalescence of trabeculae during corticalization. Here the authors show that this process is regulated by SOCS3 via a mechanism dependent on IL-6 and expression of sex hormones.
