Porcupine inhibition, targeting the Wnt signaling pathway, shows promise as a treatment for sclerosteosis, potentially reducing the need for high-risk surgeries in this rare genetic disorder. doi.org/g9fm67
Porcupine inhibition represents a promising treatment for sclerosteosis patients
New research from the Royal Veterinary College (RVC) has identified porcupine inhibition—a strategy that blocks a key bone-related signaling pathway (Wnt)—as a promising pharmacological treatment for severe sclerosteosis.
