Methods to treat age-related osteoporosis could be developed with the help of a protein discovered by scientists at Tokyo Medical and Dental University, Japan.
Osteoporosis-Causes-Symptoms-Diagnosis-Treatment-FAQs
Osteoporosis is a bone disease that leads to an increased risk of fractures. The bone mass is reduced and the bones are porous, thereby resulting in weakness of the skeletal system of the body.

On the other hand, mice lacking Maf showed delayed bone formation. Furthermore, Maf levels were found to decrease in mouse mesenchymal cells upon aging and to be reduced by increased oxidative stress, something that occurs upon aging.
Scientists believe that these data could lead to new approaches to treat age-related osteoporosis.
