Advances in Pathobiology and Management of Paget?s Disease of Bone presents an essential collection of up-to-date knowledge about the pathophysiology, genetics, and treatment of Paget?s disease. It covers the comprehensive information related to clinical perspectives, epidemiology, genetics, environmental factors such as viral etiology, molecular abnormalities, complications such as osteosarcoma, and current and future treatment for Paget?s disease. This book serves as a useful volume for basic scientists, graduate students, and practicing clinicians in understanding the pathobiology, etiology, and treatment of this disease.

Sakamuri V. Reddy, Ph.D is currently Professor and Director of the Osteoclast Center in the Darby Children’s Research Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC), Charleston, SC, USA. Dr. Reddy is a member of the American Society of Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) and has over 24 years of experience in studying skeletal disorders and mechanisms of bone loss. His work is focused on osteoclast biology, Paget’s disease of bone, cancer metastasis to bone, and microgravity-induced bone loss. Dr. Reddy received the Young Investigator award from ASBMR in 1992 and the Mitchell I. Rubin Research Award for distinguished scientific contributions to the advancement of medical sciences from MUSC in 2006. Dr. Reddy is presently an Academic Editor for PLOS ONE online journal and has served on the Editorial Board of the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research (JBMR). Additionally, he has served on several grant review panels at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Department of Defense (DOD), and other international scientific organizations. He has published nearly 100 peer-reviewed articles in the field of skeletal biology and diseases.
