Very importantly, impairment of osteoblastic niche function is not restricted to G-CSF. It is also observed during mobilization elicited by KIT Ligand and Flt3 ligand with similar downregulation ...

A HITHERTO infrequently recognized abnormality in patients with osteoblastic metastases is the occurrence of hypocalcemia. It has usually been held that calcium levels are normal in this situation.

CT attenuation measurements can be used to distinguish untreated osteoblastic (bone-related) metastases from enostoses (benign bone lesions), a team of researchers has found. A team of Boston ...

The MGH study uses Hounsfield units to stratify bone disease and more accurately, identify osteoblastic lesions. Of note, a similar strategy to identify and characterize adrenal lesions has been ...

Bone fracture healing can be augmented with the application of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs), but a consensus regarding idealized conditions is lacking. A new study characterizes the in ...

Twenty-three women with breast cancer and confirmed bone metastases were studied with both 99mTC MDP bone scintigraphy and 18FDG PET, and the number of lesions detected and the quantitation of uptake ...

To gain deeper insights into the impact of miR-18a-5p on osteoblastic lesions, the researchers conducted a series of comprehensive laboratory experiments. By inhibiting miR-18a-5p in both PCa ...
