Funded Activity Summary

It is well recognised that changes in sex hormones are pivotal to the development of osteoporosis in both men and women. Our group has been instrumental in identifying a novel and powerful system regualting bone mass and strength by neural activity. Recent findings indicate critical interactions between these two pathways in the control of bone formation. Greater understanding of these interactions could lead to therapies capable of controlling this extremely common disease.
