Reducing bone fracture risk in people with rare genetic disorder

In people with the rare genetic disorder Marfan Syndrome (MFS), bones are less dense and those in their arms and legs grow longer than normal. Researchers from McGill University used the CLS to study the bones of mice with MFS, in the hopes of better understanding the condition in humans. They found that, in the bones with MFS, the pores were much smaller than those in typical bones. Based on the team learned, they are now exploring whether MFS causes changes in mechanosensation, the process by which bones sense mechanical force – specifically the pressure of the fluid flowing through the bones’ pores.
