Controlling bone formation to prevent osteoporosis

Recent data have suggested that the imbalance between bone formation and bone destruction that causes osteoporosis is a result of a decrease in formation of bone forming osteoblast cells from mesenchymal cells upon aging. New research in mice provides insight into this decrease and might provide new avenues of research for those developing approaches to treat age-related osteoporosis.
