How Hunger Controlling Neurons Regulate Bone Mass
In an advance that helps clarify the role of a cluster of neurons in the brain, Yale School of Medicine researchers have found that these neurons not only control hunger and appetite, but also regulate bone mass. The study is published Sept. 24 online ahead of print in the journal Cell Reports. “We have foundContinue reading “How Hunger Controlling Neurons Regulate Bone Mass”
