Bone Abstracts

Osteolytic bone disease (OBD) is a frequent complication of multiple cancers, such as multiple myeloma. OBD is due to the disruption of balanced bone remodelling, with higher bone resorption due to increased osteoclast activation and osteoblast inhibition. Lectin–glycoprotein interactions have been implicated in osteoclast formation. In the current study, we set out to identify lectins that are involved in osteoclastogenesis and to study their role in this process. We ant...
