Novel Screening methods to Prevent Osteoporosis
The technology provides methods to screen compounds that retain the anti-inflammatory properties of glucocorticoids yet do not result in bone loss or osteoporosis due to apoptosis of osteoblasts and osteocytes. This technology demonstrates that glucocorticoid administration increases apoptosis of mature osteoblasts and osteocytes and decreases bone formation rate and bone mineral density accompanied by defective osteoblastogenesis and osteoclastogenesis in the bone marrow.
