The ups and downs of bone-marrow adipose tissue in space

Trends Endocrinol Metab. 2023 Nov 30:S1043-2760(23)00242-4. doi: 10.1016/j.tem.2023.11.003. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTKnowledge is rapidly accumulating on basic roles and modulation of bone-marrow adipose tissue (BMAT). Among key modulators are physical forces on bones as exerted by gravity and exercise. Studying humans returning from space has revealed that, in addition to physical forces, local energetics within the bone marrow can play modulatory roles.PMID:38040579 | DOI:10.1016/j.tem.2023.11.003
