Defining the role of osteomorphs in inflammatory bone loss (C05)

• Subject Area: Endocrinology, Diabetology, Metabolism
• Term: since 2024
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 501752319

Project C05 will characterize osteomorph biology during inflammation and glucocorticoid treatment, address, how they contribute to bone loss, and define metabolic pathways (e.g., glycolysis, tricarboxylic acid cycle and mitochondrial respiration) that control osteomorphs.
