Current Biology
Why mouse?
• Mouse genome fully sequenced
• 95% similarity of the genes of mice and men
• Easy to breed and handle in captivity
• Extensive toolbox for manipulating the mouse genome

In the mouse model:
Bisphosphonate treatment
… reverses bone phenotype
… but does not lower mortality
