This study compares lumbar paraspinal muscle size and density between the US Framingham Heart Study and Tsimane forager-horticulturalists, finding differences in muscle characteristics and age-related changes.

This paper deletes Dock7 exons 3-4 in mice, resulting in reduced trabecular bone volume and altered osteoblast function.

This study shows intermittent parathyroid hormone drives osteogenesis from Ebf3-expressing progenitors via both intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms in mice and humans.

This study identifies Sp7 and its target gene osteocrin as critical for osteocyte dendrite formation and shows their role in human skeletal diseases.

The paper uses Diversity Outbred mice to analyze bone traits and identify novel genes associated with bone strength, informing human GWAS findings.
