Two new publications by the MeBoDD lab

by Steve Stegen • 26 March 2024

The MeBoDD lab recently published two manuscripts! In the first, Shauni Loopmans and colleagues investigated how culturing skeletal stem and progenitors in hypoxia rewires their metabolic profile. This study was published in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, and you can read it here: https://academic.oup.com/jbmr/article/39/2/150/7516972?login=true . Congratulations! In the second, published in Nature Reviews in Endocrinology, we provide an overview of the current knowledge on skeletal cell metabolism and how it regulates their function during bone development and disease.
