sPLA2-IIA modifies progranulin deficiency phenotypes in mouse models - Molecular Neurodegeneration Background Haploinsufficiency of the progranulin (PGRN) protein is a leading cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD). Mouse models have been developed to study PGRN functions. However, PGRN ...

Progranulin deficiency associates with postmenopausal osteoporosis via increasing ubiquitination of estrogen receptor α

This new study determines the association between #progranulin (PGRN) and estrogen signaling in regulating osteoclastogenesis and #osteoporosis and presents a new therapeutic approach for the treatment of #postmenopausal osteoporosis by targeting PGRN/estrogen receptor α. #medsky
