USE OF RANK/RANKL ANTAGONISTS FOR TREATING NEUROMUSCULAR DISORDERS, GENETIC MYOPATHIES AND/OR NON GENETIC MYOPATHIES AND/OR FOR REGULATING SKELETAL AND CARDIAC MUSCLE DISUSE, DISEASES AND AGING
The present invention relates to uses and methods comprising one or more RANK/RANKL antagonists or of a pharmaceutical composition comprising one or more RANK/RANKL antagonists and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier for treating neuromuscular disorders, non-genetic myopathies, or genetic myopathies； maintaining and/or preserving the excitation:contraction:relaxation coupling； reducing loss of muscle strength associated with neuromuscular disorders, non-genetic myopathies or genetic myopathies； reducing the loss of muscular strength associated with skeletal or cardiac muscle disuse, diseases and aging； or regulating skeletal or cardiac muscle disuse, diseases and/or aging in a patient in need thereof. The present invention also relates to combinations and compositions comprising one or more RANK/RANKL antagonists and to methods for identifying candidate compounds.
