Collectin-11 is an immune protein traditionally known for defending against infection that has now been discovered to play a critical role in maintaining healthy bones by supporting normal bone remodeling.

A Byzantine child buried 900 years ago in Aphrodisias shows signs of a rare bone disease, Caffey disease, offering new insight into childhood health, care, and resilience in medieval Anatolia. #Bioarchaeology #Byzantine #Osteology #Paleopathology https://www.anthropology.net/p/a-swollen-legacy-the-byzantine-child
