AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Current treatments for bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis focus on inhibiting bone resorption or stimulating bone formation, but there is a need for further agents capable of effectively stimulating bone formation to improve bone mineral density, mass, and strength.

Method used

Development of Wnt signaling agonists that selectively activate the GPR124/RECK/Frizzled/LRP-mediated pathway, avoiding activation in the absence of RECK and GPR124, to promote bone ossification and formation.

Benefits of technology

The Wnt signaling agonists lead to a systemic increase in bone ossification and improvement in bone mineral density, mass, and strength, offering a therapeutic approach for bone-related disorders.

Abstract

The present application relates to agents capable of activating (GPR)124 / RECK / Frizzled / lipoprotein receptor-related protein (LRP)-mediated Wnt signaling, wherein said agents do not activate Frizzled / LRP –mediated Wnt signaling in the absence of RECK or GPR124, for use in the treatment and / or prevention of a bone-related disease or disorder in a subject.
