Inducible Wnt16 inactivation: WNT16 regulates cortical bone thickness in adult mice

In conclusion, WNT16 is a crucial regulator of cortical bone thickness in young adult and old mice. We propose that new treatment strategies targeting the adult regulation of WNT16 might be useful to reduce fracture risk at cortical bone sites.
