This discovery could let bones benefit from exercise without moving
Researchers have discovered a biological switch that explains why movement keeps bones strong. The protein senses physical activity and pushes bone marrow stem cells to build bone instead of storing fat, slowing age-related bone loss.

The approach could protect fragile bones in people who are unable to stay active.

The finding hints at a new way to treat asthma by preventing the inflammatory spark instead of blocking its aftermath.
