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)
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)
Study finds link between hot flashes and lower bone density in women
esearchers and colleagues analyzed data for 2,213 women between the ages of 42 and 52 who participated in the bone sub-study of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation to determine whether women with vasomotor symptoms (VMS) - which include hot flashes and night sweats - had lower bone mineral density. view more (2009-05-06)
New evidence that green tea may help improve bone health
Researchers in Hong Kong are reporting new evidence that green tea - one of the most popular beverages consumed worldwide and now available as a dietary supplement - may help improve bone health. view more (2009-09-17)
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)
Childhood dairy intake may improve adolescent bone health
Dairy is recognized as a key component of a healthy, balanced diet. However, until recently it was unclear how long-term dairy intake contributes to the many aspects of bone health in children, including bone density, bone mineral content, and bone area. view more (2008-08-13)
Bisphosphonate drugs reduce the risk of broken bones in breast cancer patients

New CT technology shows anorexia impairs adolescent bone development
Children and teenagers with even mild cases of anorexia exhibit abnormal bone structure, according to a new study appearing in the December issue of Radiology and presented at the annual meeting of the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA). view more (2008-11-18)
Bone mineral content continues to increase in obese adolescents during weight loss
Obese teenagers who succeeded in losing weight in a year-long medically supervised weight control program also saw their bone mineral content increase over that period, say researchers from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The finding was reassuring, because adolescence is a critical period for bone health in later life. view more (2008-02-04)
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)
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)
Calcium supplements fail to prevent bone fractures in children
Children taking such supplements are have only small improvements in bone density, which are unlikely to reduce fracture risk, says the study carried out by researchers at the Menzies Research Institute in Australia and other approaches could be more beneficial such as increasing vitamin D concentrations and eating more fruit and vegetables. view more (2006-09-15)
'Best of both worlds' — Targeting a single gene could inhibit bone decay and stimulate bone growth
Researchers at the University of Pennsylvania's School of Medicine have found by targeting the function of a single gene that it is possible to inhibit bone decay while simultaneously stimulating bone formation. view more (2006-12-11)
