Wnt/β-catenin signaling components and mechanisms in bone formation, homeostasis, and disease
Wnts are secreted, lipid-modified proteins that bind to different receptors on the cell surface to activate canonical or non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways, which control various biological processes throughout embryonic development and adult life ...

Bone disease is one of the most common complications of multiple myeloma. It is the result of increased osteoclast activity which is not compensated by osteoblast activity and leads to osteolytic lesions characterized by bone pain and increased risk for pathological fracture, spinal cord compression and need for radiotherapy or surgery to the bone ...

Pituitary Diseases and Bone [PDF]
Neuroendocrinology of bone is a new area of research based on the evidence that pituitary hormones may directly modulate bone remodeling and metabolism. Skeletal fragility associated with high risk of fractures is a common complication of several pituitary diseases such as hypopituitarism, Cushing disease, acromegaly, and hyperprolactinemia.

Osteopontin in Bone Metabolism and Bone Diseases [PDF]
Osteopontin (OPN), a secreted phosphoprotein, is a member of the small integrin-binding ligand N-linked glycoprotein (SIBLING) family of cell matrix proteins and participates in many biological activities. Studies have shown that OPN plays a role in bone metabolism and homeostasis.

Sclerostin inhibition alleviates breast cancer-induced bone metastases and muscle weakness [PDF]
Breast cancer bone metastases often cause a debilitating non-curable condition with osteolytic lesions, muscle weakness and a high mortality. Current treatment comprises chemotherapy, irradiation, surgery and anti-resorptive drugs that restrict but do ...

Paget disease of bone (PD) is characterized by excessive bone resorption in focal areas followed by abundant new bone formation, with eventual replacement of the normal bone marrow by vascular and fibrous tissue. The etiology of PD is not well understood, but one PD-linked gene and several other susceptibility loci have been identified, and ...

Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy: genetics, clinical features and management
Primary hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (PHO) is a genetic disorder mainly characterized by clubbing fingers, pachydermia and periostosis. Mutations in the HPGD or SLCO2A1 gene lead to impaired prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) degradation, thus elevating PGE2 ...

Immunomagnetic t-lymphocyte depletion (ITLD) of rat bone marrow using OX-19 monoclonal antibody [PDF]
Graft versus host disease (GVHD) may be abrogated and host survival prolonged by in vitro depletion of T lymphocytes from bone marrow (BM) prior to allotransplantation. Using a mouse anti-rat pan T-lymphocyte monoclonal antibody (0×19) bound to monosized,
