From Mouse to Man: Redefining the Role of Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I in the Acquisition of Bone Mass
1 Mar 2003
Abstract excerpt
The insulin-like growth factor system (IGF) has been linked to the process of bone acquisition through epidemiologic analyses of large cohorts and in vitro studies of bone cells. But the exact relationship between expression of IGF-I in bone and skeletal homeostasis or pathologic conditions, such as osteoporosis, remains poorly defined. Recent advances in genomic engineering have resulted in the development of...
