    Osteoporosis results from an imbalance between osteoclast-mediated bone resorption and osteoblast-mediated bone formation.

  • 2

    MiR-1a-3p directly targets Fcgr4, inhibiting osteoclast activity and signaling pathways associated with bone loss.

  • 3

    Reduced expression of miR-1a-3p is observed in human osteoporosis cohorts and animal models of bone loss.

  • 4

    Chronic unpredictable mild stress increases Fcgr4 expression and osteoclast activity, linking stress to bone loss.

  • 5

    The study highlights the miR-1a-3p–Fcgr4 axis as a potential mechanism connecting systemic pathological changes to osteoclast dysregulation.
