Novel model of osteosarcoma
In the June 15th issue of G&D, Dr. Stuart Orkin (HHMI, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Children's Hospital Boston) and colleagues present a new mouse model of osteosarcoma. view more (2008-06-16)
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)
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)
Bisphosphonate drugs reduce the risk of broken bones in breast cancer patients
Bisphosphonate drugs reduce the risk of bone complications when used in patients whose cancer has spread to the bone, according to a new study in the BMJ. view more (2003-08-29)
Adiponectin is a metabolic link between obesity and bone mineral density
Researchers at the University of Toronto, Faculty of Medicine, Toronto, Canada, have discovered that adiponectin, a protein secreted from adipocytes, is a metabolic link that can explain, in part, the known positive relationship between obesity and both bone mineral density and reduced susceptibility to fractures. view more (2008-11-26)
Stem cell success points to way to regenerate parathyroid glands
An early laboratory success is taking University of Michigan researchers a step closer to parathyroid gland transplants that could one day prevent a currently untreatable form of bone loss associated with thyroid surgery. view more (2009-09-30)
UW scientists one step closer to stopping bone loss during spaceflight
Bone loss in long-duration spaceflight has been identified for decades as a significant problem affecting astronauts. More recently, scientists have found that the absence of gravity is causing astronauts on the International Space Station to lose up to 10 times more bone mass in key regions of the body each month than most post-menopausal women... view more...

New link found between osteoporosis and coeliac disease
People with coeliac disease may develop osteoporosis because their immune system attacks their bone tissue, a new study has shown. view more (2009-10-08)
Experimental approach may reverse rheumatoid arthritis and osteoporosis
Researchers have identified a mechanism that may keep a well known signaling molecule from eroding bone and inflaming joints, according to an early study published online today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation. view more (2009-09-22)
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)
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)
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)
Astronauts on International Space Station lose alarming amounts of hipbone strength
Astronauts spending months in space lose significant bone strength, making them increasingly at risk for fractures later in life. view more (2009-01-27)
UCLA scientists uncover immune system's role in bone loss
Got high cholesterol? You might want to consider a bone density test. A new UCLA study sheds light on the link between high cholesterol and osteoporosis and identifies a new way that the body's immune cells play a role in bone loss. view more (2009-08-26)
MDC researchers unravel key mechanism in pathogenesis of osteoporosis
Osteoporosis, or bone loss, is a disease that is most common in the elderly population, affecting women more often than men. view more (2009-05-15)
Outcomes comparable for younger and older children with surgically implanted hearing aids
Outcomes following surgically implanted hearing aids that are anchored to bone appear comparable for children younger than 5 years and those older than 5 years. view more (2007-01-16)
New research could help us deliver genes for new bone formation
UK scientists are working on new methods to regenerate cartilage and bone by delivering genes to stem cells within the body to instruct them to turn into bone cells. view more (2005-09-29)
One therapeutic dose of radiation causes 30 percent spongy bone loss in mice
Mice receiving just one therapeutic dose of radiation lost up to 39% of the spongy portion of their inner bone, reducing the inner bone's weight bearing connections by up to 64%, researchers reported. view more (2006-07-13)
Repair not destruction: A new approach to treating retinopathy
Many diseases of the eye (such as retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and diabetic retinopathy) that result in loss of vision are the result of the growth of abnormal blood vessels that leak and bleed. view more (2006-11-17)
Researchers urge monitoring of bone health during chemotherapy
In laboratory tests on mice, researchers found that a medication often used to reduce toxic side effects of chemotherapy induced bone loss and helped tumors grow in bone. So the researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis are recommending increased awareness of bone health during cancer treatments. view more (2007-01-15)
