The role of tumour necrosis factor alpha stimulated gene-6 on bone by Afrough, S

“…Depending on the severity of the disease, most patients are often treated with calcium/vitamin D and anti-resorptive drugs such as bisphosphonates or calcitonin. However, there are few options for bone formation using anabolic agents- such as Teriparatide (PTH_1-34), which have limited success, creating an unmet need for novel anabolic interventions.…”
