osteosclerosis/tyrosine

Osteosclerosis in workers exposed to fluoride (F) and aluminum (Al) (industrial fluorosis) led to the use of F as a treatment to increase bone mass in osteoporosis patients. Because the influence of traces of Al on the effects of F on bone formation is heretofore unknown, we have investigated this

Modic changes (MCs) are radiographic manifestations of lumbar degenerative diseases. Various types of MCs are often associated with endplate osteosclerosis. Osteal tissue macrophages (Osteomacs) were reported to be crucial for bone homeostasis and bone repair, but whether osteomacs participate in

Mice homozygous for the motheaten (Hcphme) or viable motheaten (Hcphme-v) mutations are deficient in functional SHP-1 protein-tyrosine phosphatase and show severe defects in hematopoiesis. Comparison of femurs from mev/mev mice revealed significant decreases in bone mineral density (0.33 +/- 0.03

BACKGROUND Changes in the bone marrow microenvironment in myelofibrosis are triggered by a cytokine burst and consist of fibrosis, osteosclerosis, and angiogenesis. Sunitinib is a multitargeted small-molecule inhibitor of the receptor tyrosine kinases involved in cell proliferation and angiogenesis,

Bone remodeling is carried out by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell derived osteoblasts, which form the bones, and hematopoeitic stem cell derived osteoclasts, which absorb the bones. Their actions are coordinated in two ways: osteoblasts and their precursors synthesize and secrete cytokines such as

Autosomal dominant osteopetrosis type II (ADO-II) is a heritable bone disorder characterized by osteosclerosis, predominantly involving the spine (vertebral end-plate thickening, or rugger-jersey spine), the pelvis ("bone-within-bone" structures) and the skull base. Chloride channel 7 (CLCN7) has

The primary disease process in myelofibrosis with myeloid metaplasia (MMM) is clonal myeloproliferation with varying degrees of phenotypic differentiation. This is characteristically accompanied by secondary intramedullary collagen fibrosis, osteosclerosis, angiogenesis, and extramedullary
