Thrilled and grateful to Nature Reviews Endocrinology for featuring our review on #skeletal #stem/#progenitor cells (SSPCs) on the cover of the March issue 🙏🔥🦴✨
This work would not have been possible without Seppe Melis, Dana Trompet, and Andrei Chagin.

A drug that mimics low oxygen (FG-4592) prevents obesity and bone damage by boosting energy burn and blood vessel growth. This points to a dual therapy for diabetes-related bone fragility and poor fracture healing in humans.🥳

Thanks @NatRevRheumatol & Claire Greenhill for highlighting our work🙏🌸
📣 Are you a #nephrologist prescribing #Roxadustat for #anaemia in #CKD ?
👉 We would love to hear from you! Maybe these mouse findings are effective in humans too!? Contact me✅
