In Brief: The study established a novel rat model with a clinically relevant PLS3 mutation, which replicates the osteoporotic phenotype of early-onset PLS3-related osteoporosis. The findings suggest that treatment with alendronate or teriparatide improves bone mass and microarchitecture, suggesting their potential as effective treatments for early-onset osteoporosis caused by PLS3 mutations.Commentary: This study is an essentia...
