Loss of a matrix enzyme triggers adult bone loss in mice

Mice lacking the enzyme MMP14 in bone-forming cells initially gained bone mass when young, but later developed severe bone loss driven by immune cells.Mice lacking the enzyme MMP14 in bone-forming cells initially gained bone mass when young, but later developed severe bone loss driven by immune cells.

Lamin B1 deficiency impairs bone formation in stem cells

In bone marrow stem cells linked to senile osteoporosis, lamin B1 loss triggered a form of cell death that disrupted mitochondria and impaired bone formation.In bone marrow stem cells linked to senile osteoporosis, lamin B1 loss triggered a form of cell death that disrupted mitochondria and impaired bone formation.
