The relationship between bone marrow (BM) cytokine and chemokine levels, cytogenetic profiles and skeletal involvement in multiple myeloma (MM) patients is not yet defined. This study investigated a ...

A team of researchers has developed a new biomaterial with high potential in in the treatment of bone lesions or minimal residual disease in multiple myeloma patients. The findings showcase a ...

A study of samples from patients with multiple myeloma (MM) has demonstrated how "reprogrammed" fat cells contribute to long-lasting bone damage, even after the cancer has gone into remission.

The team tackled a critical challenge in treating multiple myeloma-a blood cancer where malignant plasma cells accumulate in bone marrow, leading to debilitating bone lesions in 80% of patients. These ...

Patients with multiple myeloma often develop bone lesions resulting in skeletal-related events (SREs), such as spinal cord compression, vertebral collapse, pathologic fractures and bone pain. Bone ...

A pattern of genes has been identified that is characteristic of osteoarthritis and may be a step towards better treatments for this condition. Researchers have found a pattern of genes which is ...

In a study published in the journal Genes & Diseases, researchers from Army Medical University and Shenzhen University investigated the pivotal role of miR-18a-5p, a microRNA, in the development and ...

Bone marrow lesions (BMLs) were linked to collateral ligament lesions (CLLs) in the interphalangeal joints of patients with hand osteoarthritis (OA), with BMLs being less common than CLLs. CLLs showed ...

Eosinophilic granuloma (EG) is a type of lesion that usually appears on bones. These lesions are caused by an overgrowth of Langerhans cells, which are naturally occurring white blood cells that are ...

Bone pain is a common symptom that patients with multiple myeloma face, but some may find relief with treatments and exercise. In 2017, Michael Padjen was on the job at his exterior cleaning company ...
