Antibodies that block the Wnt inhibitors sclerostin and DKK- 1 enhance bone formation and fracture repair. Here the authors show these monospecific antibodies induce compensatory mechanisms that limit efficacy, and have designed a sclerostin/DKK-1 bispecific antibody that promotes superior fracture repair in rodents and bone formation in primates.
