Mouse studyBones and joints
Who was studiedOvariectomized female mice, 4 weeks, against untreated ovariectomized mice
What changedYoung plasma exosomes increased thighbone mass in ovariectomized mice compared with untreated ovariectomized mice
The catchMice were euthanized after 4 weeks of treatment, preventing assessment of lasting bone gains
