Electronic health record triples rate of osteoporosis screenings
Use of the Electronic Health Record tripled the rate of osteoporosis screenings in women who are at risk for the disease, according to a study conducted recently by a team of Geisinger Health System researchers. view more (2006-12-08)
Why an Allosaurus's butt is worse than its bite
At up to 12 metres long and weighing as much as two tonnes, the Allosaurus is recognised as having been one of the fiercest dinosaurs of the late Jurassic age.

Emily Rayfield, of the University of Cambridge's... view more... (2001-02-19)
Tel Aviv University gives preemies a fighting chance
When a child is born premature - and more than one in ten infants in the U.S. is - its future is already compromised. One of the common problems associated with premature births is "brittle bones," or osteopenia of prematurity (OOP). It can cause bone fractures and rickets in the infant, and osteoporosis later in life. view more (2007-12-05)
Approved lymphoma drug shows promise in early tests against bone cancer
A drug already approved for the treatment of lymphoma may also slow the growth of the most deadly bone cancer in children and teens, according to an early-stage study published online today in the International Journal of Cancer. view more (2009-11-06)
Dinosaur Fossil Bone Leads to Gender, Age Determinations
Paleontologists at North Carolina State University have determined that a 68 million year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex fossil from Montana is that of a young female, and that she was producing eggs when she died. view more (2005-06-02)
Women with breast cancer have low vitamin D levels
Women with breast cancer should be given high doses of vitamin D because a majority of them are likely to have low levels of vitamin D, which could contribute to decreased bone mass and greater risk of fractures, according to scientists at the University of Rochester Medical Center. view more (2009-10-09)
Do testosterone patches help women with under-active pituitary glands?
New research published today in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism showed the first positive effect of testosterone on bone density, body composition and emotional, cognitive and behavioral function in women with low testosterone levels resulting from under-active pituitary glands. view more (2006-05-10)
Drug banned by sports may be good for oldies

Denosumab increases bone density, cuts fracture risk in prostate cancer survivors
Twice-yearly treatment with denosumab, a new targeted therapy to stop bone loss, increased bone density and prevented spinal fractures in men receiving androgen-deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. view more (2009-08-11)
Vitamin D deficiency in infants and nursing mothers carries long-term disease risks
Once believed to be important only for bone health, vitamin D is now seen as having a critical function in maintaining the immune system throughout life. view more (2008-12-17)
Stem cell therapy grows new blood vessels
Research led by David Hess of the Robarts Research Institute at The University of Western Ontario has identified how to use selected stem cells from bone marrow to grow new blood vessels to treat diseases such as peripheral artery disease. view more (2009-04-07)
Are you male, aged 25 to 45 and need a rest?
ESA is looking for volunteers to participate in a 3-month bed-rest experiment in Toulouse, France, in early 2001. The main purpose of the experiment is to improve the rehabilitation of patients and evaluate the consequences of long space flights. Candidates should be male, EC citizens and aged from 25 to 45. In addition they must be between 165... view more... (2000-11-01)
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)

New studies on goat milk show it is more beneficial to health than cow milk
Research carried out at the Department of Physiology of the University of Granada has revealed that goat milk has more beneficial properties to health than cow milk. Among these properties it helps to prevent ferropenic anaemia (iron deficiency) and bone demineralisation (softening of the bones). view more (2007-07-31)
Scientists move towards stem cell therapy trials to mend shattered bones
The UK Stem Cell Foundation, the Medical Research Council and Scottish Enterprise, in partnership with the Chief Scientist's Office, are funding a £1.4 million project to further the research at the University of Edinburgh with a view to setting up a clinical trial within two years. view more (2008-02-19)
