Cardiac cell transplant studies show promise in cardiac tissue repair
Two studies published in the current issue of CELL TRANSPLANTATION (17:6) examine the efficacy of transplanting bone marrow cells (BMCs) for the repair of heart tissue. view more (2008-09-04)
Intraspinal implant of mesenchymal stem cells may not heal the demyelinated spinal cord
Multiple sclerosis is a disease caused by the loss of the myelinated sheath surrounding the nerve fibers of the spinal cord. view more (2008-11-13)
Drug reverses bone loss in men with prostate cancer during the first year of treatment
A common type of treatment used to protect bone density in menopausal women is also an effective therapy for advanced prostate cancer patients during the first year of hormone therapy. view more (2006-02-27)
Stretching bone marrow stem cells pushes them towards becoming blood vessel
When stretched, a type of adult stem cell taken from bone marrow can be nudged towards becoming the type of tissue found in blood vessels, according to a new study by bioengineers at the University of California, Berkeley. view more (2006-10-24)
Weekly dose of osteoporosis drug prevents bone loss after breast cancer treatment
Breast cancer survivors who took a weekly dose of risedronate, sold as Actonel, lost significantly less bone than those who did not take the drug. view more (2007-09-19)
University of Manchester makes made-to-measure skin and bones a reality using inkjet printers
Made-to-measure skin and bones, which could be used to treat burn victims or patients who have suffered severe disfigurements, may soon be a reality using inkjets which can print human cells. Scientists at The University of Manchester have developed the breakthrough technology which will allow tailor-made tissues and bones to be grown, simply by... view more... (2005-01-19)
Study finds link between hot flashes and lower bone density in women
esearchers and colleagues analyzed data for 2,213 women between the ages of 42 and 52 who participated in the bone sub-study of the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation to determine whether women with vasomotor symptoms (VMS) - which include hot flashes and night sweats - had lower bone mineral density. view more (2009-05-06)
Childhood cancer survivors at increased risk of sarcoma
Survivors of childhood cancers have a ninefold increased risk of developing a secondary sarcoma—a cancer of connective or supportive tissue such as bone, fat, or muscle—compared with the general population. view more (2007-02-21)
OHSU study says stem cell 'fusion' occurs in tumors
An Oregon Health & Science University study is adding credence to an increasingly popular theory that fusion is what bonds stem cells with bone marrow cells to regenerate organ tissue. view more (2006-05-10)
Liposuctioned fat stem cells to repair bodies
Expanding waistlines, unsightly bulges: people will gladly remove excess body fat to improve their looks. But unwanted fat also contains stem cells with the potential to repair defects and heal injuries in the body. view more (2007-02-23)
Researchers at University of Kent investigate glass as a healing material
The University of Kent is collaborating with research teams from the University of Warwick, Imperial College London and University College London (UCL) to develop novel forms of degradable glass for a variety of medical applications, including new bone growth. view more (2005-03-22)
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)
Bone marrow cells can become functional gut lining cells
Researchers report the discovery that cells used in bone marrow transplantation can develop into new cells lining the gut, according to a study by Yale School of Medicine in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-03-03)
Soft tissue taken from Tyrannosaurus rex fossil yields original protein
What happens when a 68 million-year-old Tyrannosaurus Rex meets 21st century medical science? A North Carolina State University researcher and her colleagues at Harvard Medical School and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center found out when they confirmed the existence of protein in soft tissue recovered from the bone of a 68 million-year-old T.... view more...

Signaling for cartilage
Skeletal progenitor cells differentiate into cartilage cells when one master gene actually suppresses the action of another, said Baylor College of Medicine researchers in a report that appears online in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2006-11-28)
Nottingham biosciences million pound injection
Nottingham's strength as a UK Science City is further underlined today, with news that the Wellcome Trust, the UK's largest medical research charity, has awarded almost £1 million to an innovative biosciences company. view more (2007-07-30)
A new method for bone-marrow-derived liver stem cells isolation and proliferation
Great interest has been aroused in the identification and isolation of liver stem cells from bone marrow cells. Several subsets of bone marrow cells have been found to have the potential to differentiate into hepatocytes, however, sorting based on immunological methods is difficult because of the complicated surface markers of the stem cells;... view more...

Stress causes parodontis
Under stress, major proteins get actively destroyed in the parodentium. According to biologists' data, chronical stress inhibits the osseous tissue maturing process and intensifies decomposition of collagen protein and proteoglycans with the animals non-resistant to stress. Stress intensifies hydrolysis of proteins, which make the basis of the... view more... (2003-09-26)
Bone's material flaws lead to disease
The weak tendons and fragile bones characteristic of osteogenesis imperfecta, or brittle bone disease, stem from a genetic mutation that causes the incorrect substitution of a single amino acid in the chain of thousands of amino acids making up a collagen molecule, the basic building block of bone and tendon. view more (2009-08-05)
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)
