Congratulations to MHIR Faculty Scientist and M-COBRE Project Leader Alum, Dr. Kathrine Motyl! The National Institutes of Health’s National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases awarded Dr. Motyl a grant to study how the nervous system affects bone. Dr. Motyl and her team will examine how the sympathetic nervous system (SNS) communicates with osteoclasts (cells that dissolve bone) through beta adrenergic receptors and how this pathway contributes to age- and SNS-related bone loss.
