Conflict of Interest
Institutions must file significant disclosures to the National Institutes of Health if they determine financial relationships could affect the design, conduct or reporting of the NIH-funded research. The NIH provided us with their entire financial conflict of interest database, with filings from 2012 through 2019.

The company is engaged in the development of new drugs for the treatment of osteoporosis. The research study involves examining skeletal homeostasis. Relationship may provide incentive to share non-published data / developments with a financially interested party
Role of FoxOs in Skeletal Homeostasis- Resubmission
Osteoporosis is one of the most common features of human aging, but the mechanisms responsible for this condition remain unclear. As it is unclear whether these mechanisms are specific for bone or are shared by other tissues and organs. The work proposed in this application seek to identify the means by which aging causes bone loss by studying changes in the function of proteins that control both the bone-resorbing cells and the bone-forming cells. Increase understanding of the mechanisms that control bone cells may prove useful for the development of therapies that can treat osteoporosis and other degenerative disorders of aging.
