Journal ArticleDOI

Osteoprotegerin Reverses Osteoporosis by Inhibiting Endosteal Osteoclasts and Prevents Vascular Calcification by Blocking a Process Resembling Osteoclastogenesis

TL;DR: Findings indicate that the OPG/OPGL/RANK signaling pathway may play an important role in both pathological and physiological calcification processes and may also explain the observed high clinical incidence of vascular calcification in the osteoporotic patient population.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pegylated Megakaryocyte Growth and Development Factor Abrogates the Lethal Thrombocytopenia Associated With Carboplatin and Irradiation in Mice

TL;DR: The concept that PEG-rMGDF may be useful to treat iatrogenic thrombocytopenias is supported, as the daily administration of pegylated recombinant human MGDF significantly reduced mortality and ameliorated the depth and duration of thromBocy topenia.
Journal ArticleDOI

Osteoprotegerin and osteoprotegerin ligand effects on osteoclast formation from human peripheral blood mononuclear cell precursors.

TL;DR: A pivotal role for OPGL and OPG in the modulation of human osteoclast differentiation and function is confirmed, suggesting a use for O PG for treating osteocline‐mediated bone disease in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of osteoclast precursors in human blood.

TL;DR: All freshly isolated monocytes demonstrate displaceable Hu-OPGL-F binding, suggesting the presence of RANK on OCPs in PB; also, OCPS within a purified PB monocyte population form osteoclast-like cells in the complete absence of other cell types in OPGL and CSF-1 containing medium.
