How does type 2 diabetes (T2D) play a major role in bone fragility? In this video, Lejla Emini describes how an evolutionary conserved signal transduction pathway known as the Wnt/β-catenin pathway could be the missing link to why patients with T2D have increased bone fragility.
Lejla Emini is a PhD student in the bone lab (bone-lab.de/) of Martina Rauner and Lorenz Hofbauer at Technische Universität Dresden (TUD) in Germany. She is also part of the FIDELIO consortium that primarily focuses on how diabetes affects bone health (https://www.fidelio-project.eu/).
