Breakthrough: Newly Discovered Hormone Could Revolutionize Bone Health
Hormone Maintains Bone Strength During Lactation
Researchers at UCSF and UC Davis have made a groundbreaking discovery with the identification of a new hormone named Maternal Brain Hormone CCN3. This hormone plays a crucial role in maintaining bone strength in females during lactation, a period when calcium is naturally stripped away.
Potential Applications for Osteoporosis and Bone Healing
The discovery of CCN3 has far-reaching implications for the treatment of osteoporosis and the healing of broken bones. Osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and makes them more susceptible to fractures, affects millions of people worldwide. The new hormone could potentially provide a new therapeutic approach to prevent and treat this debilitating condition.
