Henneicke Group
We are interested in the endocrine control of degeneration and regeneration during the ageing process. Understanding the hormonal regulation of these processes opens up avenues for therapeutic intervention.

Future projects and goals
- Identification of paracrine or endocrine crosstalk between thermogenic adipose tissue and the skeleton.
- Examine the role of local glucocorticoid signalling during ageing and age-related diseases.
- Identify and characterise novel neuroendocrine regulators of skeletal & metabolic homeostasis.
- Glucocorticoids and the sympathetic nervous system as regulators of skeletal degeneration & regeneration.
