We have shown that genetic ablation of Cdh2 (N−cadherin gene) in osteolineage cells results in osteopenia and decreased osteoprogenitor number. Paradoxically, others have shown that mice overexpressing Cdh2 in osteoblasts are also osteopenic; an action linked to a negative effect of N−cadherin (Ncad) on Wnt signaling, via sequestration of low density lipoprotein receptor−related protein−...

Multiple Myeloma (MM) is a malignancy of Plasma Cells (PC), characterized by severe osteolytic lesions but poor 99Tc-MDP uptake in bone scans due to osteoblast inhibition. We hypothesized that high demands for membrane biosynthesis in tumour PC would enhance monocarboxylic acid anabolism and uptake, which could be exploited for treatment and molecular imaging. Here, we tested the efficacy of clinically available 11C-Acetate PET to detect myeloma and quant...
