Biomedical researchers create artificial human bone marrow in a test tube
Artificial bone marrow that can continuously make red and white blood cells has been created in a University of Michigan lab. view more (2008-12-23)
Saving teeth by using periodontal ligament regeneration
Teeth may fall out as a result of inflammation and subsequent destruction of the tissues supporting the teeth. Dutch researcher Agnes Berendsen has investigated a possible solution to this problem. view more (2008-06-05)
Genes may determine success of hip replacement surgery
The success of long term hip replacement surgery may lie in the genes, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2007-03-15)
Bones from calves good for fastening tooth implants
On Friday, November 8, Mats Hallman, Department of Odontology, Jaw Surgery, Ume'å University in Sweden, will defend a thesis that presents favorable results from implanting bone powder from calves to anchor tooth implants in humans. Tooth implants have long been a well-tested method to create permanent teeth in toothless sections of the jaw.... view more... (2002-11-05)
Engineers develop way of detecting problems with artificial hip joints
A more efficient way of detecting loosened artificial hip implants, which affect thousands of people every year, has been developed. view more (2007-08-03)
Nanotubes inspire new technique for healing broken bones
Scientists have shown for the first time that carbon nanotubes make an ideal scaffold for the growth of bone tissue. The new technique could change the way doctors treat broken bones, allowing them to simply inject a solution of nanotubes into a fracture to promote healing view more (2005-07-11)
Crowning glory
Research present in a forthcoming issue of the International Journal of Nanomanufacturing from Inderscience Publishers suggests that coating dental implants with a synthetic bone material prior to implantation allows such implant to become incorporated much more successfully into the jaw, leading to smiles all round. view more (2008-04-07)
Researchers reveal how long-term use of anti-inflammatory medication can cause osteoporosis
The steroid hormones glucocorticoids (GCs) are used at high doses to treat inflammatory and immune disorders, however they prompt bone loss and can cause osteoporosis, particularly when administered for prolonged periods. view more (2006-07-28)
New biomedical device uses nanotechnology to monitor hip implant healing, may reduce wait times
It is so small, you can barely see it, but a microsensor created by University of Alberta engineers may soon make a huge difference in the lives of people recovering from hip replacement surgery. view more (2006-10-18)
Artificial night lighting jeopardises the survival of sea life
Artificial night lighting can jeopardise the survival of sea turtles by obliterating environmental cues. Writing in the August issue of Biologist, Mike Salmon, of Florida Atlantic University, USA, explains how artificial coastal lighting disturbs female sea turtles' navigation to nest beaches and disorientates their hatchlings so that many fail to... view more...

Study supports the use of mechanical assistance for acute or chronic heart failure in high-risk patients
The success of long-term implantable ventricular assist devices (LVAD) or artificial hearts has led to their increased use in patients previously thought to be unsuitable for mechanical support. This study documents the shift in the demographic profile of patients in need of artificial hearts to a more high-risk group. Looking at clinical records... view more... (2004-11-10)
Bone marrow cell transplants help nerve regeneration
A study carried out by researchers at the Kyoto University School of Medicine and published in the current issue of CELL TRANSPLANTATION (Vol.16 No. 8) has shown that when transplanted bone marrow cells (BMCs) containing adult stem cells are protected by a 15mm silicon tube and nourished with bio-engineered materials, they successfully help... view more...

Bisphosphonate drugs reduce the risk of broken bones in breast cancer patients
Bisphosphonate drugs reduce the risk of bone complications when used in patients whose cancer has spread to the bone, according to a new study in the BMJ. view more (2003-08-29)
The bitter side of sweeteners
Sewage treatment plants fail to remove artificial sweeteners completely from waste water. view more (2009-06-18)
Good vibrations: Aging bones may benefit from a good shaking
While running and jumping are some of the best ways to maintain or improve bone strength and help prevent fractures, they aren't the safest activities for the frail, elderly or physically impaired. view more (2007-02-20)
Press conference: 31st European Symposium On Calcified Tissue, 7 June 2004
At the Acropolis Convention Centre, Nice, France. Bone diseases are an important cause of ill health. The most common is osteoporosis which affects 200 million women around the world and accounts for billions in healthcare treatment costs. Other diseases are less common but cause bone pain, deformity and fracture. view more (2004-03-17)
Vitamin D signals to prevent bone loss during osteoporosis
The risk of bone fracture resulting from falls increases as we age due to bone loss and osteoporosis. Physicians have routinely prescribed vitamin D and vitamin D-related drugs to retard bone loss, but until now, little was known about the specific targets of vitamin D in bone. view more (2006-01-20)
Shark skin saves naval industry money
Covering ship hulls with artificial shark skin could help ships sailing smoothly. The growth of marine organisms such as barnacles on ship hulls is a major cause of increased energy costs in the naval industry. Shark skin offers a structural design that prevents this so called 'bio-fouling'. view more (2005-07-18)
Secrets of the Sea Yield Stronger Artificial Bone
The next generation of artificial bone may rely on a few secrets from the sea. Scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have harnessed the way seawater freezes to develop a porous, scaffolding-like material that is four times stronger than material currently used in synthetic bone. view more (2006-02-01)
Prince Philip Medal for Engineer who Pioneered Synthetic Bone
Professor William Bonfield CBE, FREng, FRS, Professor of Medical materials at the University of Cambridge, has won this year's prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering's Prince Philip Medal. HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, as The Academy's Senior Fellow, will present Professor Bonfield with the solid gold medal at the Academy Awards Dinner... view more... (2004-06-10)
