Bones communicate with the rest of the body to support overall health: Here’s the science behind your skeleton

Japan Today reported on research by endocrine scientists explaining how bones release hormones that help regulate metabolism and brain function.

The piece describes the skeleton as an active participant in bodily systems rather than a static structure, highlighting its role in signaling to other organs. Research into bone-derived hormones has expanded understanding of skeletal biology.

The article presents the science behind these connections. Its explanation draws on the cited endocrine research.
