Connexin43 in mesenchymal lineage cells regulates body adiposity and energy metabolism in mice

This study shows that Cx43 in mesenchymal lineage cells reduces body adiposity and improves metabolic health in mice on a high-fat diet.

Loading-Induced Bone Formation is Mediated by Wnt1 Induction in Osteoblast-Lineage Cells

This study shows that Wnt1 in osteoblast-lineage cells mediates bone formation in response to mechanical loading in mice.
