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)
Dental researchers ID new target in fight against osteoporosis, periodontitis
Osteoporosis and periodontitis are common diseases whose sufferers must cope with weakness, injury and reduced function as they lose bone more quickly than it is formed. view more (2009-05-19)
Notch controls bone formation and strength
Notch, a protein known to govern the determination of cell differentiation into different kinds of tissues in embryos, plays a critical role in bone formation and strength later in life, said researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in Houston in a report that appears online today in the journal Nature Medicine. view more (2008-02-25)
OSTEOPOROSIS CONFERENCE - 5 - 9 JUNE
The 31st European Symposium on Calcified Tissues takes place in Nice, 5-9 June, and focuses on osteoporosis. This is a summary of the press releases representing the highlights of the Symposium. Please contact Elaine Snell (details below) for the full press releases. Monday 7 June, 10.00 CEST CANNABIS-BASED DRUGS COULD PREVENT AND TREAT BONE... view more... (2004-06-04)
Providence health system shows investigational osteoporosis therapy increases bone mineral density
Providence Health System researchers announced today that an investigational therapy for bone loss, denosumab, demonstrated significant increases in bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. view more (2006-02-23)
Engineering to protect brittle bones
Leeds University engineer Dr Ruth Wilcox, 27, is on a mission - to help people with the brittle bone disease osteoporosis. She has just won a Post-Doctoral Research Fellowship from the Royal Academy of Engineering, starting 1 August, which will enable her to devote the next five years of her research to improving treatment of patients with... view more...

Risk of fracture is significantly higher in HIV-infected patients
As antiviral treatment for HIV infection allows patients to live longer, many will be confronted with additional health challenges. A new study shows for the first time that one of these may be significantly increased risk of bone fractures. view more (2008-08-29)
Space-related radiation research could help reduce fractures in cancer survivors
A research project looking for ways to reduce bone loss in astronauts may yield methods of improving the bone health of cancer patients undergoing radiation treatment. view more (2009-09-16)
Study shows drug effective in treating, preventing breast cancer
A new study of an estrogen-derived drug shows promise as a treatment for breast cancer and breast cancer metastases to bone. view more (2007-11-01)
Scientists discover key factor in controlling the breakdown of bone
A new study demonstrates that a chemical mediator in the blood that influences immune cell migration also plays a key role in maintaining the balance between the build-up and breakdown of bones in the body. This mediator, which acts on cells that degrade bone, may provide a new target for scientists developing therapies and preventions for... view more... (2009-02-09)
Developing cancer treatments directed at critical developmental pathway
Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and colleagues discovered that the Notch signaling pathway, which determines the development of many cell types, and is also implicated in some cancers, is not universally essential for the maintenance of stem cells. view more (2008-04-11)
Down to the Bone
Although modern medical technology is already well advanced, implants made of synthetic materials can cause problems: they may give rise to rejection reactions or loosen over time because the contact between the surrounding tissue and the implanted material is not good enough. A remarkable procedure developed by a team of chemists working with... view more... (1999-02-09)
Oral bisphosphonate risk slight, but dental patients should be aware, ADA says
People taking oral bisphosphonates, a type of drug used to treat osteoporosis, osteopenia and Paget's disease of bone, should be aware of potential risks when undergoing certain dental procedures. view more (2006-08-07)
Study identifies molecule essential for proper localization of blood stem cells
Scientists at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Regenerative Medicine and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HCSI) have defined a molecule that dictates how blood stem cells travel to the bone marrow and establish blood and immune cell production. view more (2006-01-16)
Connection between depression and osteoporosis shown by Hebrew University researchers
Depression can cause a loss of bone mass, leading to osteoporosis and fractures, say researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. view more (2006-10-31)
CT colonography offers 1-stop screening for cancer and osteoporosis
New research reveals that computed tomography (CT) colonography, also known as virtual colonoscopy, has the potential to screen for two diseases at once-colorectal cancer and osteoporosis, both of which commonly affect adults over age 50. view more (2008-12-02)
Bones from blood: scientists aim to break new ground on fractures
Researchers from the University's Department of Biology are heading the EC-backed project to create bone structures from cord blood stem cells for use in the repair of bone defects and fractures. view more (2006-01-31)
Organon, University of Twente and Delft University of Technology are jointly searching for innovative therapies to promote bone regeneration
The Dutch pharmaceutical company Organon, the University of Twente (UT) and the Delft University of Technology have jointly started a project with the goal of finding breakthroughs in our understanding of the mechanisms of bone formation. This should lead to the development of new drugs and protocols for tissue engineering. This will strengthen... view more... (2004-03-22)
Bone marrow cells can heal nerves in diabetes model
Transplanting cells that replenish blood vessels can also restore nerve function in an animal model of diabetic neuropathy, Emory researchers have found. view more (2009-02-05)
Low carbohydrate diet did not increase bone loss, study finds
A strict low-carbohydrate diet had no effect on bone loss for adults following an Adkins-type diet for weight loss, a three-month study by rheumatologists at the University of South Florida found. view more (2006-05-25)
