Abstract
Multiple myeloma bone disease (MMBD) is characterized by the growth of malignant plasma cells in bone marrow, leading to an imbalance in bone (re)modeling favoring excessive resorption. Loss of bone mass and altered microstructure characterize MMBD in humans and preclinical animal models, although, no study to date has examined bone composition or material properties. We hypothesized that MMBD alters bone composition, mineral crystal properties and mechanical properties in the MOPC315.BM.Luc model after intra-tibial injection of myeloma cells and three weeks of daily in vivo tibial loading. Decreased cortical bone elastic modulus and hardness measured by nanoindentation of tibiae were observed in MM-injected mice compared to PBS-injected mice, whereas cortical bone composition, mineral crystal properties measured by Fourier-transform infrared imaging or small angle X-ray scattering, respectively remained unchanged. However, MM-injected mice had thinner cancellous bone mineral particles compared to PBS-injected mice. Mechanical loading did not lead to altered cortical bone composition, mineral structure, or mechanical properties in the context of MM. Unexpectedly, we observed the intra-tibial injection itself altered the material composition of bone, manifested by increased matrix mineralization and crystal size of the hydroxyapatite crystals in the bone matrix. In conclusion, our data suggest that mechanical stimuli can be used as an adjuvant bone anabolic therapy in patients with MMBD to rebuild bone with unaltered composition and mineral structure to reduce subsequent fracture risk.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
