Bone research that grows on you
Rapid and guided healing of bones has moved a step closer with research by two biomedical engineering students who have found new ways to deliver bone growth enhancers directly to broken or weakened bones. view more (2006-11-01)
Dieting Danger: Female Athletes Limiting Calories More Likely to Get Stress Fractures
Female college athletes on low-calorie diets could be putting themselves at risk for stress fractures, according to new Saint Louis University research published in this month's The American Journal of Sports Medicine. view more (2006-09-14)
Pushing the limits of hard disk storage
Just how much data can we cram onto a hard disk? In a paper appearing online today in Physical Review Letters, EPFL (Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne) Professor Harald Brune and his colleagues report what they believe to be the ultimate density limit of magnetic recording. view more (2005-10-10)
UCR Researchers Grow Bone Cells on Carbon Nanotubes
Researchers at the University of California, Riverside have published findings that show, for the first time, that bone cells can grow and proliferate on a scaffold of carbon nanotubes. view more (2006-03-16)
Floating lovers count too — in the health of eagle populations
In a paper from the November issue of The American Naturalist, Vincenzo Penteriani, FermÃn Otalora, and Miguel Ferrer, researchers at the Estación Biológica de Doñana (Consejo Superior de Investigaciones CientÃficas, Spain), focus on the forgotten and invisible side of animal populations-the floaters. Floaters are dispersed individuals who... view more... (2006-11-02)
Bone Implant Offers Hope for Skull Deformities
A synthetic bone matrix offers hope for babies born with craniosynostosis, a condition that causes the plates in the skull to fuse too soon. view more (2009-11-20)
What are your odds of surviving into your hundreds?
A genetic factor that protects you against heart disease during middle age could reduce the odds that you'll celebrate your hundredth birthday. Research published in BMC Medical Genetics shows that a genetic trait, which is rarely found in centenarians, is associated with lower cholesterol levels. The risk of suffering from heart disease is... view more... (2004-02-18)
Bioactive cement scaffold may improve bone grafts
A new technology for implants that may improve construction or repair of bones in the face, skull and jaw, has been developed by researchers from the American Dental Association Foundation (ADAF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2006-04-18)
Low testosterone levels associated with risk of fracture in men over 60
Men over age 60 who have low blood testosterone levels may be at a higher risk for fractures. view more (2008-01-15)
Naval Research Laboratory's ANDE-2 deployed from Space Shuttle Endeavour
The Naval Research Laboratory's satellite suite, the Atmospheric Neutral Density Experiment 2 (ANDE-2), was deployed from NASA's Space Shuttle Endeavour on July 30, 2009. view more (2009-08-06)
Bone marrow hope for heart sufferers
New hope for sufferers of heart disease is possible, after research led by a University of Leicester surgeon indicates that bone marrow cells injected into a heart can help repair damage from a heart attack. view more (2002-11-27)
Calorie density key to losing weight
Eating smart, not eating less, may be the key to losing weight. A year-long clinical trial by Penn State researchers shows that diets focusing on foods that are low in calorie density can promote healthy weight loss while helping people to control hunger. view more (2007-06-08)
New evidence eases some concerns about bone fracture risk with breast cancer drug
Copenhagen, Denmark: New evidence about the breast cancer drug anastrozole (Arimidex) shows that the incidence of a major side-effect - bone fractures - appears to stabilise after reaching a peak at two years of treatment, easing some of the concerns about the drug. This finding is the latest to come from evidence provided by the world's largest... view more... (2003-09-21)
Calcium and vitamin D may not be the only protection against bone loss
Diets that are high in protein and cereal grains produce an excess of acid in the body which may increase calcium excretion and weaken bones, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-12-03)
Drawing a crowd: How progenitor cells are recruited to tumor blood vessels from the bone marrow
Cells within the bone marrow (progenitor cells) that express a protein called CD34 have been shown to leave the marrow and travel to sites of tissue injury to mediate repair. view more (2006-02-24)
Layered approach may yield stronger, more successful bone implants
Researchers from the American Dental Association Foundation (ADAF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new method for layering two kinds of biomaterials into one strong, yet porous unit that may lead to improved reconstruction or repair of bones. view more (2007-08-20)
Reconstructing mandibular defects with bioengineered tooth and bone
Current strategies for jaw reconstruction require multiple procedures, first to repair the bone defect to offer sufficient support, and then to place the tooth implant. view more (2008-04-07)
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)
NC State Is First University in Nation to Offer Canine Bone Marrow Transplants
Dogs suffering from lymphoma will be able to receive the same type of medical treatment as their human counterparts, as North Carolina State University becomes the first university in the nation to offer canine bone marrow transplants in a clinical setting. view more (2008-09-04)
Anorexia and bone mass
A multidisciplinary paediatrics research team has been awarded the "Amagoia" prize by the Sociedad Vasco-Navarra de Pediatr'a for its work, "Study of bone mass and its determinant factors in female children and adolescents affected by eating habit disorders". The research was led by Dr. Cristina Azcona, responsible for the... view more... (2004-11-25)
