Originally Published 3 days ago — by SciTechDaily
Scientists from HKUMed discovered that the Piezo1 protein acts as an 'exercise sensor' in bones, translating physical activity into signals that strengthen bones and reduce fat accumulation in bone marrow. This breakthrough could lead to the development of drugs that mimic exercise effects, offering new treatments for osteoporosis, especially for those unable to exercise.
