5.7. RANKL Inhibition in fibrous dysplasia of bone: A preclinical study in a mouse model of the human disease

B Palmisano , E Spica , C Remoli , R Labella , A Di Filippo , S Donsante , F Bini , D Raimondo , F Marinozzi , A Boyde , P Robey , A Corsi , M Riminucci

To read the full abstract: J Bone Miner Res. 2019;34(12):2171–2182.In brief: The effect of RANKL inhibition on fibrous dysplasia development is explored here using a mouse model of a fibrous dysplasia-like disorder. Anti-mouse RANKL monoclonal antibody treatment prevented the development and growth of lesions. However, after discontinuation of anti-mouse ...

5.9. Sclerostin antibody treatment increases bone mass and normalizes circulating phosphate levels in growing Hyp mice

KA Carpenter , RD Ross

To read the full abstract: J Bone Miner Res. 2020;35(3):596–60.In brief: Antibody treatment against the Wnt antagonizing sclerostin substantially improves FGF23 levels, serum phosphate and mechanical bone properties in a murine model of X-linked hypophosphatemic rickets, suggesting a role of sclerostin in phosphate metabolism.Commentary: Associa...
