Osteoporosis, or bone loss, is a disease that is most common in the elderly population, affecting women more often than men. Until now, it was not clear exactly how the disease develops. Researchers have now elucidated a molecular mechanism which regulates the equilibrium between bone formation and bone resorption. They hope these findings will lead to new therapies for this bone disease.
