Vascular Endothelium in Bone can be Targeted to Treat Osteoporosis in Mice

Osteoporosis is the name given to the characteristic loss of bone mass and strength that occurs with age. In its later stages it becomes very dangerous, and bones can fracture even under normal load. Bone is a dynamic tissue, constantly restructured and rebuilt throughout life by the actions of osteoblasts responsible for creating the molecular structure of bone and osteoclasts responsible for breaking down that structure. At root, osteoporosis is an easy problem to visualize: the balance of activity slowly and systematically tips towards osteoclasts. The complexity of the problem lies in how and why that imbalance happens, and thus what might be the best strategy for the development of treatments. At present comparatively little can be done for patients, but that will hopefully change for the
