    Osteoporosis is a global health challenge affecting 200 million individuals, characterized by low bone mass and increased fracture risk.

  • 2

    Current osteoporosis therapies focus on anti-resorption and anabolic pathways but often fail to fully restore bone health or facilitate fracture healing.

  • 3

    Angiogenesis plays a crucial role in bone health, linking blood vessel formation with bone formation, essential for bone integrity and repair.

  • 4

    Enhancing angiogenesis can improve bone repair, increase density, relieve pain, and expedite healing in osteoporotic fractures.

  • 5

    Targeting the vascular-bone axis presents a promising approach for developing innovative therapies to manage osteoporosis effectively.
