Previously, scientists had searched for but missed the biological link between bone growth and bone remodeling -- a natural give-and-take system that is crucial to skeletal health. A new study pinpoints the coupling factor as transforming growth factor beta-1, or TGF beta-1.
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered a molecular coupling factor that helps bones grow and remodel themselves to stay strong, a finding that could lead to better bone-building therapies and new osteoporosis drugs, the researchers saidThe coupling factor is a human protein called transforming growth factor beta-1, or TGF beta-1.
