Early heart attack therapy with bone marrow extract improves cardiac function
A UCSF study for the treatment of heart failure after heart attack found that the extract derived from bone marrow cells is as effective as therapy using bone marrow stem cells for improving cardiac function, decreasing the formation of scar tissue and improving cardiac pumping capacity after heart attack. view more (2009-06-30)
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)
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)
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)
HRT prevents osteoarthritis of the knee
Long term use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) seems to protect women from osteoarthritis of the knee, finds a study in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It most often occurs in hip and knee joints, where loss of the tissue which prevents joint friction - cartilage - exposes the bone... view more...

Study identifies molecule essential for proper localization of blood stem cells
Scientists at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Center for Regenerative Medicine and the Harvard Stem Cell Institute (HCSI) have defined a molecule that dictates how blood stem cells travel to the bone marrow and establish blood and immune cell production. view more (2006-01-16)
Estrogen is important for bone health in men as well as women
Although women are four times more likely than men to develop osteoporosis, or porous bone, one in 12 men also suffer from the disease, which can lead to debilitating - or even life-threatening - fractures, mainly of the spine, hip and wrist. view more (2007-05-11)
Oral bisphosphonate risk slight, but dental patients should be aware, ADA says
People taking oral bisphosphonates, a type of drug used to treat osteoporosis, osteopenia and Paget's disease of bone, should be aware of potential risks when undergoing certain dental procedures. view more (2006-08-07)
Adult stem cells are touchy-feely, need environmental clues
A certain type of adult stem cell can turn into bone, muscle, neurons or other types of tissue depending on the "feel" of its physical environment. view more (2006-08-25)
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)
Next-generation biomaterials to help body heal itself
The next generation of biomaterials will help the body heal itself by prompting cells to repair their own tissues, scientists report today. Writing in a review in the journal Science, Professors Larry Hench and Julia Polak of Imperial College, London, highlight the potential of `third generation` biomaterials that activate specific cells and genes... view more...

Invasive procedures still performed on conscious children despite new anaesthetic techniques
Many invasive bone marrow procedures are still carried out in conscious children despite the safety and effectiveness of modern anaesthetic and deep sedation techniques, finds a study in Archives of Disease in Childhood. The findings also show a striking difference between the North American and European approaches to managing painful procedures... view more... (2001-06-19)
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)
News from space for osteoporosis patients on earth: resistance is not futile
Results of a space experiment published online in The FASEB Journal have yielded a giant leap for science that could translate into an important step for mankind in the ongoing battle against osteoporosis. view more (2009-03-30)
Bone-marrow Cell Transplantation Could Save Limbs (p 427)
Injecting a patient’s bone-marrow cells into their legs could help repair damaged circulatory systems in those with limb ischaemia, suggest authors of a trial in this week’s issue of THE LANCET. Lower limb ischaemia is due to narrowing of the arteries and is a common condition, which if left untreated can lead to gangrene, amputation,... view more... (2002-08-07)
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)
Monitoring bone density in older women is unnecessary and potentially misleading
Monitoring bone mineral density in postmenopausal women taking osteoporosis drugs (bisphosphonates) is unnecessary and potentially misleading. view more (2009-06-24)
