Bone Health Breakthrough: Genes and Hormones in Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a global issue that weakens bones and raises the risk of fractures. It's a tricky disease to manage because it's caused by many factors. Scientists have been digging into how genes and hormones play a role in this. Lately, they've found some exciting stuff using single-cell RNA sequencing and long non-coding RNAs. Estrogen and parathyroid hormone are also big players in bone health. Each person's genes and hormones are unique, so doctors might need to treat osteoporosis differently for each patient.Researchers are even finding new markers and using AI to predict and manage bone fractures. This could lead to new drugs, therapies, and even gene-based treatments in the future. To make this happen, scientists and doctors need to work together and put these discoveries into practice.
