Introduction: Bisphosphonate treatment in children with osteogenesis imperfecta reduces bone catabolism and relies on modelling to form new bone. An anabolic treatment, anti-sclerostin antibody (Anti-SOST Ab), is being investigated in clinical trials. We hypothesized that combined treatment may produce superior outcomes in OI.Methods: Female Col1a2 G610C mice and their wild type littermates (WT) were treated from week 5 to week 9 of life with either sali...

Multiple myeloma is characterized by extensive bone marrow tumour and destructive osteolytic lesions. Both increased bone resorption and suppressed bone formation result in lesions and pathological fractures. Anti-resorptive therapies prevent further bone loss but patients continue to fracture, arguing for new therapies which increase bone strength. Anti-Sclerostin (Anti-Scl) is a potent stimulator of bone formation, is currently in clinical trials for osteoporosis, however it...
