Long distance runners at risk of low bone density
Long distance running increases the risk of low bone density, shows research in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Accepted wisdom is that running, as a weight bearing exercise, increases bone density and therefore reduces the risk of osteoporosis and bone fracture. view more (2003-01-24)
New study results indicate arsenic could be suitable as first-line treatment in rare type of leukaemia
Geneva, Switzerland: Arsenic trioxide - a highly poisonous substance best known as an effective weed killer or pesticide and notorious for being a favourite 'weapon' of choice in murder mystery novels, is being re-invented as a treatment for a rare type of leukaemia. view more (2004-09-26)
Insights into osteosarcoma in cats and dogs may improve palliative care
Researchers at the University of Illinois have found that a molecular pathway known to have a role in the progression of bone cancer in humans is also critical to the pathology of skeletal tumors in dogs and cats. view more (2007-03-02)
Forsyth scientists find linkages between serotonin reuptake inhibitors and bone mass
Scientists at The Forsyth Institute have found that fluoxetine (Prozac), a drug used in the treatment of depression and obsessive-compulsive disorders, increases bone mass. view more (2006-10-13)
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)
Bone cement only controls bacteria for a few days after the operation
Dutch research has revealed that bone cement containing antibiotics can effectively control infections around prostheses but only during the first few days after the implantation. For the past 30 years bone cement, which affixes hip and knee prostheses to the bone, has contained antibiotics and from the start, the usefulness of this has been... view more... (2003-10-10)
UT Houston researchers use stroke patient's own stem cells in trial for first time Phase I trial will enroll 10 patients
For the first time in the United States, a stroke patient has been intravenously injected with his own bone marrow stem cells as part of a research trial at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston. view more (2009-04-16)
U of M Sets Course For Cure of Fatal Childhood Skin Disease
Physicians at the University of Minnesota and University of Minnesota Children's Hospital, Fairview have set the path to a cure for a young boy's fatal genetic skin disease, recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB), by using a cord blood and bone marrow transplant. Nate Liao, a 25-month-old from Clarksburg, N.J., underwent the... view more... (2008-06-04)
U of MN adult stem cell research shows promise for transplant therapies
University of Minnesota stem cell researchers, together with collaborators at Stanford University, have successfully used adult stem cells to replace the immune system and bone marrow of mice, offering the promise of new therapies for people in the future. view more (2007-01-16)
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)
Dietary calcium could possibly prevent the spread of breast cancer to bone
A strong skeleton is less likely to be penetrated by metastasizing cancer cells, so a fortified glass of milk might be the way to block cancer's spread. view more (2007-10-03)
Discoveries may advance stem cell therapy for Parkinson's, cancer patients
Two studies in the Jan. 27, 2006 Cell have yielded evidence that could prove a boon for stem cell therapies aimed at patients with Parkinson's disease and those with compromised immune systems due to intensive cancer therapy or autoimmune disease, according to researchers. view more (2006-01-27)
Fibroblasts
Where should stem cells be taken for transplantation in case of deep burns - from embryos or from the marrow? Russian transplantologists have determined that the skin restores quicker when the cell from mesenchyme of the marrow are used. Within a month, the rat's burn wound area would decrease by 10 times, if its surface is covered by the... view more... (2003-11-06)
Calcium important for nursing mothers' oral health
Mothers who breastfeed should be sure to have enough Calcium in their diet, or may risk bone loss around their teeth and gums, according to a new study that appears in the January issue of the Journal of Periodontology (JOP). view more (2007-01-10)
Cell Therapy for Parkinson's Disease
According to research work at the University Hospital, cell therapy could improve many of the motor deficits of patients with Parkinson's Disease. view more (2004-05-03)
Hydrogels provide scaffolding for growth of bone cells
Hyaluronic hydrogels developed by Carnegie Mellon University researchers may provide a suitable scaffolding to enable bone regeneration. The hydrogels, created by Newell Washburn, Krzysztof Matyjaszewski and Jeffrey Hollinger, have proven to encourage the growth of preosteoblast cells, cells that aid the growth and development of bone. Doctoral... view more... (2008-08-18)
Research Will Push Forward Fight Against Leukaemia
A project which aims to make laboratory-grown leukaemia cells change form and then be used to prime a patient's own immune system to kill off malignant cells has begun in Edinburgh. If successful, the study could give clinicians a way of destroying residual leukaemic cells which are undetectable by microscope. The findings could be helpful in the... view more... (2002-10-25)
Researchers discover protein that controls bone growth
A research team led by Dr. Pierre Moffatt of the Shriners Hospital for Children in Montreal and McGill University's Department of Human Genetics has uncovered the molecular mechanism by which the protein osteocrin controls bone growth - a discovery that may have important implications for people suffering from bone diseases affecting skeletal... view more...

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)
From diagnostic tool to cancer therapy
Cancer patients could be benefiting more than they realise from diagnostic scans. Research published today in Breast Cancer Research suggests that a radioactive molecule widely used to evaluate advanced tumours can kill cancer cells. Dr Ekaterina Dadachova and her team from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine of Yeshiva University, USA,... view more... (2003-08-20)
