The Effect of Renal Dysfunction on Circulating Sclerostin Level in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Objective. Sclerostin is a Wnt inhibitor produced specifically by osteocytes. However, it is not currently clear whether renal dysfunction has an effect on circulating sclerostin level in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Romosozumab and Denosumab Combination Therapy After Denosumab in Postmenopausal Osteoporosis
Background Transition from long‐term denosumab to PTH‐analogs or romosozumab might expose patients to the risk of the so‐called rebound phenomenon. Adding romosozumab to denosumab might represent an option in patients experiencing a fracture while on denosumab.

Serum sclerostin and sympathetic skin response: relationship with myeloma bone disease
Background Myeloma bone disease (MBD) is a common complication that significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in multiple myeloma (MM). Serum sclerostin level and sympathetic activity can affect MBD.

Physical activity and hypocaloric diet recovers osteoblasts homeostasis in women affected by abdominal obesity. [PDF]
Obesity is a multifactorial disease linked to metabolic chronic disorders such as diabetes, and hypertension. Also, it has recently been associated with skeletal alterations and low bone mineral density.

Sclerostin: Current Knowledge and Future Perspectives [PDF]
In recent years study of rare human bone disorders has led to the identification of important signaling pathways that regulate bone formation. Such diseases include the bone sclerosing dysplasias sclerosteosis and van Buchem disease, which are due to deficiency of sclerostin, a protein secreted by osteocytes that inhibits bone formation by osteoblasts.

Effects of 24 months of treatment with romosozumab followed by 12 months of denosumab or placebo in postmenopausal women with low bone mineral density : a randomized, double-blind, phase 2, parallel group study [PDF]
Over 12 months, romosozumab increased bone formation and decreased bone resorption, resulting in increased bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with low BMD (NCT00896532).
