    As we age, our bones become thinner and thinner, we are more prone to fractures, and bone diseases such as osteoporosis are more likely to occur


     


     

    For some time now, aging researchers have considered epigenetics as a cause of the aging process


    "We want to know why as we age, these stem cells produce less and less substances for bone development and maintenance, resulting in more and more fat accumulating in the bone marrow


    Epigenome regeneration

    The researchers then investigated whether the epigenome of stem cells can be regenerated


    To clarify whether this change in the epigenome may also be the cause of the increased risk of fracture or osteoporosis in the elderly, the researchers studied human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from patients after hip surgery


    A new way to treat osteoporosis?

    "Sodium acetate can also be used as a food additive.
