Journal ArticleDOI

Osteocyte control of bone formation via sclerostin, a novel BMP antagonist.

TL;DR: Strong expression in osteocytes suggested that sclerostin expressed by these central regulatory cells mediates bone homeostasis, and modulation of this osteocyte‐derived negative signal is therapeutically relevant for disorders associated with bone loss.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sclerostin promotes the apoptosis of human osteoblastic cells: a novel regulation of bone formation.

TL;DR: Findings show that sclerostin selectively controls the apoptosis of bone cells, providing a novel level of control in the regulation of bone formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of phosphatidylethanolamine as a solitary cofactor for prion formation in the absence of nucleic acids

TL;DR: It is shown by purification and reconstitution that the molecule responsible for the nuclease-resistant cofactor activity in brain is endogenous phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), suggesting that unlike RNA, PE is a promiscuous cofactor for PrPSc formation in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI

Protease-resistant Prion Protein Amplification Reconstituted with Partially Purified Substrates and Synthetic Polyanions

TL;DR: One possible set of minimal components for efficient conversion ofPrP molecules in vitro may be surprisingly simple, consisting of PrP27–30, PrPC, and a stimulatory polyanionic compound.
