New Bone Cell Type Identified, Could Point to Drug Targets for Osteoporosis and Other Skeletal Diseases February 26, 2021 Source: Photo by Mathew Schwartz on Unsplash 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.

 E-Mail Researchers at the Garvan Institute of Medical Research have discovered a new type of bone cell that may reveal new therapeutic approaches for osteoporosis and other skeletal diseases. The new cells, which the researchers term 'osteomorphs', are found in the blood and bone marrow, and fuse together to form osteoclasts, specialised cells that break down bone tissue. They have a unique genomic profile that reveals promising and as yet unexplored targets for therapy. "This discovery is a game-changer, which not only helps us understand bone biology but presents significant new in-road...
