Funded Activity Summary

Parathyroid hormone is the master hormone regulator of whole body calcium metabolism and a powerful new treatment for osteoporosis but the mechanism by which its natural secretion is controlled has never been solved. In this project we will apply new insights and advanced technical approaches to resolve this most fundamental question of calcium homeostasis, namely how parathyroid hormone secretion is controlled.
