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)
USC researcher identifies stem cells in tendons that regenerate tissue in animal model
Athletes know that damage to a tendon can signal an end to their professional careers. But a consortium of scientists, led in part by University of Southern California (USC) School of Dentistry researcher Songtao Shi, has identified unique cells within the adult tendon that have stem-cell characteristics-including the ability to proliferate and... view more...

Walking prevents bone loss caused from prostate cancer treatment
Exercise may reduce, and even reverse, bone loss caused by hormone and radiation therapies used in the treatment of localized prostate cancer, thereby decreasing the potential risk of bone fractures and improving quality of life for these men. view more (2007-10-29)
New technique offers relief for patients with spinal tumors
A radiologist at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) School of Medicine has developed a new procedure to treat fractured vertebrae caused by spinal tumors, a procedure that may decrease the risk of complications, which are experienced by 5 to 10% of patients with malignant tumors of the spine. view more (2006-05-08)
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)
Artificial tissue from the test tube
The human body is held together by collagen (from the Greek kolla = glue). This group of structural proteins makes up 20-30 percent of the protein content of mammals - and can be found in skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, teeth and bones. The range of associated diseases is correspondingly wide. One example is osteoarthrosis, a... view more... (2003-12-01)
Common osteoporosis treatment may help men with prostate cancer suffering from bone loss
Men with prostate cancer who experience bone loss from cancer treatment could benefit from a weekly oral therapy commonly given to women with osteoporosis. view more (2006-02-27)
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)
Bone Marrow Stem Cells May Cure Eye Disease
Adult bone marrow stem cells may help cure certain genetic eye diseases, according to UC researchers. view more (2007-05-11)
Antibacterial bioactive glass for European markets
Two new products have been approved to European medical markets: antibacterial bioactive glass granules for remedying frontal sinus and bone defects and a bioactive glass plate for the repair of the orbital floor. view more (2004-10-26)
Myostatin inhibitors may improve recovery of wartime limb injuries
Inhibiting a growth factor that keeps muscles from getting too big may optimize recovery of injured soldiers, researchers say. view more (2008-07-09)
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)
Potential risk identified in transfusions of platelets before bone marrow transplant
Research on blood transfusions points to a potential risk of transfusing donated platelets, especially to patients with bone marrow failure syndromes who are subsequently candidates for bone marrow transplantation. view more (2009-08-11)
New approach for growing bone comes from Duke preclinical research
The natural cycle of building bone to maintain skeletal strength and then breaking it down for the body's calcium needs is delicately balanced, but diseases like osteoporosis break down too much bone without adequate bone replacement, leading to bone fractures. view more (2009-10-08)
Investigators uncover intriguing clues to why persistent acid reflux sometimes turns into cancer
New research from scientists at UT Southwestern Medical Center and the Dallas Veterans Affairs Medical Center underscores the importance of preventing recurring acid reflux while also uncovering tantalizing clues on how typical acid reflux can turn potentially cancerous. view more (2007-08-10)
University of Manchester pioneers study to support teenage mums' bone health
Researchers in The University of Manchester's School of Medicine are undertaking a pilot study into the healthy bone development of teenage mothers, as part of an ongoing commitment to supporting the health of young families. view more (2005-03-07)
Height has been linked to long life for many centuries
It is now well known that tall people tend to live longer, but has this always been the case? A study of skeletal remains dating back to the 9th century published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health concludes that short bones have always been a marker of a short life, despite disease patterns being quite different today from those... view more...

New study finds way to stop excessive bone growth following trauma or surgery
A recent United States Army study found that excessive bone growth, also known as heterotopic ossificiation (HO), affects up to 70 percent of soldiers who are severely wounded during combat. A much smaller percentage of the civilian population also suffers from HO following trauma or invasive surgery. view more (2009-09-24)
Immune exhaustion driven by antigen in chronic viral infection
A main reason why viruses such as HIV or hepatitis C persist despite a vigorous initial immune response is exhaustion. The T cells, or white blood cells, fighting a chronic infection eventually wear out. view more (2009-05-14)
