Diabetes weakens your bones
Current research suggests that the inflammatory molecule TNF-α may contribute to delayed bone fracture healing in diabetics. view more (2009-09-28)
New finding may aid adult stem cell collection
Cincinnati scientists have discovered how blood-regenerating stem cells move from bone marrow into the blood stream. view more (2005-07-28)
Secret ingredient: nanoparticles aid bone growth
In the first study of its kind, bioengineers and bioscientists at Rice University and Radboud University in Nijmegen, Netherlands, have shown they can grow denser bone tissue by sprinkling stick-like nanoparticles throughout the porous material used to pattern the bone. view more (2008-06-16)
Watery grave for 7,700 year old who wouldn't eat her greens
University of Sheffield archaeologists have uncovered a 7,700-year-old human thighbone, which has provided new evidence about the diet of ancient people. The thighbone, which belonged to a woman living in the Mesolithic era, was found in a dried up channel of the River Trent during excavation of a gravel pit. The find was unusual because human... view more... (2002-08-28)
Exercise in childhood and adolescence may stave off osteoporosis
Recent studies indicate that exercise can help build and maintain healthy bones. But just how early should one start? At the IOF World Congress on Osteoporosis in Toronto, Canada this week, several studies highlighted the importance of exercise in children and adolescents for building peak bone mass that will help protect against osteoporosis in... view more...

Pituitary hormone implicated in bone loss after menopause
New evidence in the April 21, 2006 Cell challenges the long-standing notion that declining estrogen levels alone lead to osteoporosis after women go through menopause. view more (2006-04-21)
Calcium supplements may be little help for healthy kids
There's little question that most kids get too little calcium, but a new review of evidence casts doubt on the value of supplements and calcium-fortified foods to build stronger bones. view more (2006-04-19)
Genes may determine success of hip replacement surgery
The success of long term hip replacement surgery may lie in the genes, suggests research published ahead of print in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. view more (2007-03-15)
HIV patients at greater risk for bone fractures
HIV-infected patients have a higher prevalence of fractures than non HIV-infected patients, across both genders and critical fracture sites according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-08-28)
Reconstruction of the lower jaw with a fibula autotrasplant
The University Hospital of the University of Navarra has carried out a complicated surgical operation on a child who had a particularly large benign tumour located in the mandibular region. The procedure involved the extraction of the lower jaw and its substitution by a bone transplant from the fibula of the patient. view more (2005-05-09)
Older women at highest risk for hip fractures, least likely to get bone density screening
A new study by Medical College of Wisconsin researchers has found that women who most need bone density testing to determine if they have osteoporosis are the least likely to get it. view more (2006-02-08)
Gene silencing directs muscle-derived stem cells to become bone-forming cells
Using a relatively new technology called RNA interference to turn off genes that regulate cell differentiation, University of Pittsburgh researchers have demonstrated they can increase the propensity of muscle-derived stem cells (MDSCs) to become bone-forming cells. view more (2006-06-02)
Statins use associated with lower risk of fractures
In a large study of elderly, predominately male veterans, statin use was associated with a 36 percent reduction in risk of fracture when compared with no lipid-lowering therapy. view more (2005-09-27)
ESC Congress 2004: Converting cells into heart muscle
Bone marrow derived stem cells can give rise to heart muscle cells. This plasticity concept - the ability of bone marrow cell to transdifferentiate into heart muscle cell - is supported by experimental and clinical data. Another possibility is to replace the missing function by causing transdifferentiation of existing cells. Transdifferentiation... view more... (2004-08-30)
Once-yearly treatment significantly reduces bone fractures in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis
Data to be published in this week's issue of The New England Journal of Medicine show that a once-yearly treatment significantly reduced the incidence of all types of osteoporotic bone fractures over three years in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis. view more (2007-05-03)
Prostate cancer therapy increases risk of fractures and cardiovascular-related death
Prostate cancer patients who undergo therapy to decrease testosterone levels increase their risk of developing bone- and heart-related side effects compared to patients who do not take these medications, according to a new analysis. view more (2009-04-27)
Simple ultrasound exam may predict osteoporosis risk
An ultrasound exam of the heel may be able to predict if a woman is at heightened risk for fractures due to osteoporosis, according to a new multicenter study being published in the July issue of the journal Radiology. view more (2008-06-24)
Studies unclear whether spinal cement procedure improves back pain
A procedure that fills in fractured vertebrae with injected cement has not been shown to improve a person's back pain or quality of life, according to a new analysis of studies. view more (2006-05-15)
Researchers identify new brain pathway for regulating weight and bone mass
Contrary to the prevailing view, the hormone leptin, which is critical for normal food intake and metabolism, appears to regulate bone mass and suppress appetite by acting mainly through serotonin pathways in the brain. view more (2009-09-24)
Protein key to control, growth of blood cells
New research sheds light on the biological events by which stem cells in the bone marrow develop into the broad variety of cells that circulate in the blood. The findings may help improve the success of bone marrow transplants and may lead to better treatments for life-threatening blood diseases. view more (2008-08-14)
