title: The FOX(O1) blasts off.
abstract: Systemic glucose homeostasis is primarily regulated by insulin, which targets liver, fat, and skeletal muscle cells, setting up important feedback loops. New studies now show that the osteoblast also has a significant role in modulating systemic insulin responses, via the insulin-regulated transcription factor FOXO1 and the hormone osteocalcin.
