A groundbreaking set of studies has found that blocking certain receptors in the brain leads to the growth of remarkably strong bones. Could a new osteoporosis treatment be on the horizon?
Primarily a disease of old age, osteoporosis can cause bones to become gradually weaker.
Over time, bones become so porous that minor impacts — even just a cough or a sneeze — might cause fractures.
