A new method for bone-marrow-derived liver stem cells isolation and proliferation
Great interest has been aroused in the identification and isolation of liver stem cells from bone marrow cells. Several subsets of bone marrow cells have been found to have the potential to differentiate into hepatocytes, however, sorting based on immunological methods is difficult because of the complicated surface markers of the stem cells;... view more...

What's the role of beta-catenin in colorectal cancers?
Beta-catenin, a central molecule of the Wnt-signaling pathway was previously known to involve in the tumorigenesis of various gastrointestinal cancers such as gastric cancer and colon cancer. view more (2008-11-03)
'Casodex' (bicalutamide) 150mg a cost effective treatment for the management of locally advanced prostate cancer[1]
18th January 2005: New health economic data published in the European Journal of Hospital Pharmacy outline the cost benefits of the non-steroidal anti-androgen bicalutamide 150mg for the treatment of locally advanced prostate cancer. By delaying disease progression in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer, bicalutamide 150mg reduces the... view more... (2005-01-18)
Fabled 'vegetable lamb' plant contains potential treatment for osteoporosis
The "vegetable lamb" plant - once believed to bear fruit that ripened into a living baby sheep - produces substances that show promise in laboratory experiments as new treatments for osteoporosis, the bone-thinning disease. view more (2009-10-15)
Lead in bone associated with increased risk of death from cardiovascular disease in men
Growing evidence shows that exposure to lead in the environment is associated with cardiovascular disease, including increased risk of hypertension. view more (2009-09-10)
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)
Children's Hospital study demonstrates how bone marrow transplant can cure sickle cell disease
A unique approach to bone marrow transplantation pioneered in part by a Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC physician has proven to be the only safe and effective cure for sickle cell disease, according to a new study. view more (2008-11-07)
New link found between osteoporosis and coeliac disease
People with coeliac disease may develop osteoporosis because their immune system attacks their bone tissue, a new study has shown. view more (2009-10-08)
Bone marrow cell therapy may be beneficial for patients with ischemic heart disease
The injection of bone marrow cells into the heart of patients with chronic myocardial ischemia (reduced blood flow to some areas of the heart) was associated with modest improvements in blood flow and function of the left ventricle. view more (2009-05-20)
New research on structure of bones raises questions for treatment of osteoporosis
Researchers have discovered that the structure of human bones is vastly different than previously believed - findings which will have implications for how some debilitating bone disorders are treated. view more (2007-10-17)
Genotyping takes us closer to an osteoporosis fingerprint
For the first time ever, an extensive genome-wide search has been undertaken to find the genes linked to osteoporosis and fracture. Five regions of interest have been identified that appear to warrant further scientific investigation. view more (2008-04-30)
MIT: New tissue scaffold regrows cartilage and bone
MIT engineers and colleagues have built a new tissue scaffold that can stimulate bone and cartilage growth when transplanted into the knees and other joints. view more (2009-05-12)
Candidate genes for osteoporesis and obesity
Variants of BMP2 gene as genetic risk factors for osteoporosis Linking specific genes with common, complex diseases like osteoporosis is a tricky business. There are likely to be many genetic as well as environmental and lifestyle causes, and to find them researchers need large populations, abundant genetic markers, and extensive patient data. In... view more... (2003-10-29)

Testosterone supplementation for older men appears to have limited benefit
Older men with low testosterone levels who received testosterone supplementation increased lean body mass and decreased body fat, but were no stronger and had no improvement in mobility or cognition compared with men who did not use the supplement, according to a study in the January 2 issue of JAMA. view more (2008-01-02)
New research could help us deliver genes for new bone formation
UK scientists are working on new methods to regenerate cartilage and bone by delivering genes to stem cells within the body to instruct them to turn into bone cells. view more (2005-09-29)
UAB Study Reveals Bone Coupling Factor Key to Skeletal Health
Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have discovered a molecular coupling factor that helps bones grow and remodel themselves to stay strong, a finding that could lead to better bone-building therapies and new osteoporosis drugs, the researchers said view more (2009-07-08)
Tufts researcher leads revision of osteoporosis guidelines
Tufts University researcher Bess Dawson-Hughes, M.D., chaired the committee that recently updated the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) Clinician's Guide to Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis. view more (2008-06-05)
Jumping for joy ... and stronger bones
High impact activities such as jumping and skipping that can easily be incorporated into warm-ups before sports and physical education classes, have been shown to benefit bone health in adolescents. view more (2008-08-28)
Lithium and bone healing
Researchers have described a novel molecular pathway that may have a critical role in bone healing and have suggested that lithium, which affects this pathway, has the potential to improve fracture healing. view more (2007-07-31)
