Anti-Sclerostin Antibodies in Osteoporosis and Other Bone Diseases

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Medicine, 2020
The Wnt pathway is a key element of bone remodeling; its activation stimulates bone formation and inhibits bone resorption. The discovery of sclerostin, a natural antagonist of the Wnt pathway, promoted the development of romosozumab, a human monoclonal ...

Spotted bone disease [PDF]

open access: yesBMJ Case Reports, 2015
Osteopoikilosis, a benign autosomal dominant bone disorder, is an unusual condition that can often be misdiagnosed as a sinister primary bone anomaly or as metastatic bony lesions. We report a case of osteopoikilosis in a 29-year-old Indian man. A 29-year-old unmarried man, born of non-consanguineous parents, presented with a history of low back pain ...
