Abstract excerpt
Iroquois homeobox gene 3 (Irx3) and Irx5 encode transcription factors that play crucial roles in limb development and bone formation. Previous studies using knockout mice have revealed a role of Irx3 and Irx5 in osteogenesis in young adult mice. However, whether these genes are also essential for bone homeostasis in adulthood and contribute to bone diseases remain poorly understood. Osteoporosis is a disease...
