Transferrin receptor 2 controls bone mass and pathological bone formation via BMP and Wnt signalling

Transferrin receptor 2 (Trf2) is known to regulate iron homeostasis through its action in the liver. Here the authors report a previously unrecognised role of Trf2 in regulating bone homeostasis mediated by modulation of BMP signalling specifically on osteoblasts.
