A method of administering a pharmaceutical composition which includes anti-RANKL antibodies, calcium and vitamin D to a patient in need thereof. The method includes subcutaneously administering the anti-RANKL antibodies at a dose of 60-180 mg in 1-3 ml of solution every four weeks, orally administering the calcium at a dose of 400 mg daily, and orally administering the vitamin D at a dose of 800-1200 IU daily. The patient in need thereof has skeletal-related complications due to solid tumors, and the administering of the pharmaceutical composition comprising anti-RANKL antibodies, calcium and vitamin D to the patient in need thereof at least one of treats and prevents hypocalcemia induced by anti-RANKL antibody therapy. The calcium and the vitamin D are provided as a combined single daily dose in a form of effervescent granules, swallowable tablets, swallowable capsules, chewable tablets, or ready-to-use granules.

The invention relates to the use of composition comprising sialylated and fucosylated human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) for enhancing bone development and/or bone strength, preferably a nutritional composition for infants or young children.

The invention relates to the use of composition comprising sialylated and fucosylated human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) for enhancing bone development and/or bone strength, preferably a nutritional composition for infants or young children.

The present invention relates to an herbal composition in powder, pill or liquid form for speeding up fracture healing and bone regeneration, which may promote fracture healing and bone regeneration by containing medicinal herbs capable of improving fracture healing and bone regeneration and medicinal herbs capable of enhancing digestion and absorption, and an herbal formulation in powder, pill or liquid form containing the same. The herbal composition in powder, pill or liquid form for speeding up fracture healing and bone regeneration according to the present invention contains 20 parts by weight of Angelica gigas, 16 parts by weight of Dendrobium moniliforme, 12 parts by weight of Dipsaci radix, 10 parts by weight of antler, 8 parts by weight of Cnidium officinale, 8 parts by weight of Astragalus membranaceus, 4 parts by weight of Achyranthes japonica, and 4 parts by weight of Massa medicata fermentata.

Described herein are compositions and methods related to derivation of human notochordal cells differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The inventors have developed a two-step process for generating these iPSC-derived notochordal cells (iNCs), which can provide a renewable source of therapeutic material for use in degenerative disc disease (DDD). As iNCs are capable of reversing DDD and supporting regeneration of intervertebral disc (IVD) tissue based on the understanding that NC cells maintain homeostasis and repair of other IVD cell types such as nuclear pulposus (NP).

Methods of treating anti-inflammatory conditions through the use of boron-containing small molecules are disclosed.

The present invention relates to antisense oligonucleotides that modulate the expression of and/or function of Tumor Suppressor genes, in particular, by targeting natural antisense polynucleotides of Tumor Suppressor genes. The invention also relates to the identification of these antisense oligonucleotides and their use in treating diseases and disorders associated with the expression of Tumor Suppressor genes.

Indazole compounds for treating various diseases and pathologies are disclosed. More particularly, the present invention concerns the use of an indazole compound or analogs thereof, in the treatment of disorders characterized by the activation of Wnt pathway signaling (e.g., cancer, abnormal cellular proliferation, angiogenesis, Alzheimer's disease, lung disease and osteoarthritis), the modulation of cellular events mediated by Wnt pathway signaling, as well as genetic diseases and neurological conditions/disorders/diseases due to mutations or dysregulation of the Wnt pathway and/or of one or more of Wnt signaling components. Also provided are methods for treating Wnt-related disease states.

Bone mineral content, 25(OH) vitamin D3, or 1,25(OH).sub.2 vitamin D3 in a companion animal can be improved by adjusting the diet of the animal to increase the amount of a compound which positively or negatively modulates the bone mineral content, 25(OH) vitamin D3, or 1,25(OH).sub.2 vitamin D3 or adjusting the diet of the animal to decrease the amount of a compound which positively or negatively modulates the bone mineral content, 25(OH) vitamin D3, or 1,25(OH).sub.2 vitamin D3.
