Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have discovered a new type of bone cell that may yield novel therapeutic targets and strategies for osteoporosis and other skeletal diseases.
The cells, which the researchers have called osteomorphs, are found in the blood and bone marrow, and fuse together to form osteoclasts, which are specialized cells that break down bone tissue. The newly identified osteomorphs have a unique genomic profile that indicates potentially promising, and as yet unexplored targets for therapy.
