FINDINGS:
BMAT linked to osteoporosis, fractures, T2D, CVD, cancers
PLOT TWIST: Type 2 diabetes correlates:
✅ Positive with spinal BMAT
❌ Negative with femoral BMAT
Mendelian randomization confirms CAUSAL link to osteoporosis
Site-specific biology = site-specific disease!

🚨 November #PaperOfTheMonth is MASSIVE! 🚨
Xu et al. analyzed 48,000+ UK Biobank participants with MRI to reveal bone marrow adiposity's links to 47 DISEASES across 12 categories
The twist? Location matters MORE than we thought 🦴
This changes EVERYTHING about BMAT biology

Femoral BMAT: Higher saturated fats, MORE hematopoietic stem cells
Acetabular BMAT: Different lipid profile, FEWER blood-forming cells
Same patient, different skeleton location = different biology
This work sheds new light on BMAT physiology!

#PaperOfTheMonth reveals that location matters MORE than we thought! New research by @drenka.bsky.social et al. shows bone marrow adipose tissue (BMAT) has completely different "personalities" depending on where it sits in your skeleton 🦴 Femoral BMAT ≠ Acetabular BMAT in #osteoarthritis patients.
