Investigating the impact of osteoblast-specific NPP1 ablation on bone and energy metabolism
2020-01-01
Abstract excerpt
The skeleton is a mineralised tissue, which facilitates classical functions of locomotion, organ protection and mineral homeostasis. However, the bone has more recently been identified as an endocrine organ with the ability to regulate systemic glucose and thus energy metabolism.
