gp130 signalling in bone formation and resorption [ 2011 - 2013 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr Natalie Sims (Principal investigator) ,  Dr Nicole Walsh ,  E/Pr Thomas Martin

Brief description gp130 is a protein expressed in all cells in the body; this project will analyse the influence of gp130 within the cells that form bone, the cells that destroy bone, and the cells that form a communication network within the bone matrix. Understanding the way this protein works will help us to understand how current therapies for osteoporosis work, and will help us to design new therapies.
