It's no coincidence that our bodies feel a little creakier as we age. The trillions of cells that make up our skeleton age too, and some change in ways that weaken the very structure of our bones.

A new study shows that epitranscriptomics, or chemical regulation of gene expression at the RNA level, determines whether ...
