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)
New imaging technique reveals how likely you are to break a bone
Scientists have developed a technique which can be used to reveal the strength of bones, allowing doctors to more accurately estimate the risk of bone fracture. view more (2005-10-26)
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)
Jumping for joy ... and stronger bones
High impact activities such as jumping and skipping that can easily be incorporated into warm-ups before sports and physical education classes, have been shown to benefit bone health in adolescents. view more (2008-08-28)
ETH Zurich and IBM improve diagnosis of osteoporosis
With the goal of developing an accurate, powerful and fast method to automate the analysis of bone strength, scientists of the ETH Zurich Departments of Mechanical and Process Engineering and Computer Science teamed up with supercomputing experts at IBM's Zurich Research Laboratory. view more (2008-07-02)
Fused nasal bones helped tyrannosaurids dismember prey
New evidence may help explain the brute strength of the tyrannosaurid, says a University of Alberta researcher whose finding demonstrates how a fused nasal bone helped turn the animal into a "zoological superweapon." view more (2007-05-21)
Layered approach may yield stronger, more successful bone implants
Researchers from the American Dental Association Foundation (ADAF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have developed a new method for layering two kinds of biomaterials into one strong, yet porous unit that may lead to improved reconstruction or repair of bones. view more (2007-08-20)
Bone research that grows on you
Rapid and guided healing of bones has moved a step closer with research by two biomedical engineering students who have found new ways to deliver bone growth enhancers directly to broken or weakened bones. view more (2006-11-01)
Bones from calves good for fastening tooth implants
On Friday, November 8, Mats Hallman, Department of Odontology, Jaw Surgery, Ume'å University in Sweden, will defend a thesis that presents favorable results from implanting bone powder from calves to anchor tooth implants in humans. Tooth implants have long been a well-tested method to create permanent teeth in toothless sections of the jaw.... view more... (2002-11-05)
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)
Ultrasound researchers make no bones about their work
REF: 99/12 29 JANUARY 1999 view more (1999-05-26)
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)
Purdue study finds dairy better for bones than calcium carbonate
A Purdue University study shows dairy has an advantage over calcium carbonate in promoting bone growth and strength. view more (2009-04-29)
Researchers reveal how long-term use of anti-inflammatory medication can cause osteoporosis
The steroid hormones glucocorticoids (GCs) are used at high doses to treat inflammatory and immune disorders, however they prompt bone loss and can cause osteoporosis, particularly when administered for prolonged periods. view more (2006-07-28)
Women recover muscle strength more slowly than men
Women's muscles may require longer, more intensive rehabilitation after bed rest and cast immobilization, as reported today by the Institute for Neuromusculoskeletal Research at the Ohio University College of Osteopathic Medicine (OU-COM). view more (2008-09-26)
Bioactive cement scaffold may improve bone grafts
A new technology for implants that may improve construction or repair of bones in the face, skull and jaw, has been developed by researchers from the American Dental Association Foundation (ADAF) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). view more (2006-04-18)
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)
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)
Impact of cannabis on bones changes with age, study finds
Scientists investigating the effects of cannabis on bone health have found that its impact varies dramatically with age. view more (2009-08-14)
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)
