Abstract

Glucocorticoid (GC)-induced osteoporosis is the most common secondary cause of osteoporosis, resulting in fractures and significant morbidity. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Liu et al. reveal that in response to GCs, bone marrow adipocytes (BMAds) undergo rapid cellular senescence, triggering secondary senescence in bone marrow and causing bone deterioration.
