How to diagnose and treat Gardner syndrome with gastric polyposis
Gardner syndrome (GS) is a rare, autosomal, dominant inherited disorder with a high degree of penetrance characterized by the triad: intestinal polyposis and various bone and soft-tissue tumors. It is regarded as a clinical subgroup of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP). view more (2008-05-21)
Ethanol injection helps manage bone metastasis in thyroid cancer patients
Percutaneous ethanol injection (PEI)-an injection of ethanol (alcohol) through the skin directly into a bone tumor to kill cancer cells-may be a valuable ancillary treatment for thyroid cancer patients whose cancer has spread to the bone. Japanese researchers announced these findings during the 54th Annual Meeting of SNM, the world's largest... view more... (2007-06-04)
Tissue regeneration operates differently than expected
Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Heart and Lung Research in Bad Nauheim, Germany, in co-operation with colleagues from Martin Luther University in Halle-Wittenberg, have now shown that skeletal muscle tissue can fuse with adult stem cells, via a mechanism based on the participation of mediators which are generally involved in immune... view more...

Are bone marrow mononuclear cells effective in reducing hepatic lesions?
Liver fibrosis occurs in the setting of chronic injury caused by different etiologies constituting a serious worldwide public health problem. In addition to schistosomiasis, hepatopathies due to alcohol, viral hepatitis, drugs, metabolic and autoimmune diseases, and congenital abnormalities are important causes of liver fibrosis. view more (2008-10-24)
NC State Is First University in Nation to Offer Canine Bone Marrow Transplants
Dogs suffering from lymphoma will be able to receive the same type of medical treatment as their human counterparts, as North Carolina State University becomes the first university in the nation to offer canine bone marrow transplants in a clinical setting. view more (2008-09-04)
Medical College of Wisconsin study finds drug may limit radiation kidney damage in BMT patients
Researchers at the Medical College of Wisconsin in Milwaukee have found that the risk of radiation injury in normal tissue after exposure may be reduced by a drug in common use. view more (2007-11-15)
Bone drug could help prevent the spread of breast cancer
Maintaining bone density could be a key to decreasing the spread of cancer in women with locally advanced breast cancer, according to research at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2008-05-19)
Anorexia and bone mass
A multidisciplinary paediatrics research team has been awarded the "Amagoia" prize by the Sociedad Vasco-Navarra de Pediatr'a for its work, "Study of bone mass and its determinant factors in female children and adolescents affected by eating habit disorders". The research was led by Dr. Cristina Azcona, responsible for the... view more... (2004-11-25)
New biomedical device uses nanotechnology to monitor hip implant healing, may reduce wait times
It is so small, you can barely see it, but a microsensor created by University of Alberta engineers may soon make a huge difference in the lives of people recovering from hip replacement surgery. view more (2006-10-18)
Stem Cell Study for Patients with Heart Attack Damage Seeks to Regenerate Heart Muscle
Rush cardiologists are hoping that transplanted stem cells can regenerate damaged heart muscle in those who experience a first heart attack. The study involves an intravenous infusion of adult mesenchymal stem cells from healthy donor bone marrow that might possibly reverse damage to heart tissue. view more (2006-04-21)
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)

The 31st European Symposium on Calcified Tissues takes place in Nice, 5-9 June, and focuses on osteoporosis. This is a summary of the press releases representing the highlights of the Symposium. Please contact Elaine Snell (details below) for the full press releases. Monday 7 June, 10.00 CEST CANNABIS-BASED DRUGS COULD PREVENT AND TREAT BONE... view more... (2004-06-04)
Stem cells could halt osteoporosis, promote bone growth
While interferon gamma sounds like an outer space weapon, it's actually a hormone produced by our own bodies, and it holds great promise to repair bones affected by osteoporosis. view more (2009-03-05)
NIH researchers discover protein that appears to regulate bone mass loss, the cause of osteoporosis
An estimated ten million Americans suffer from osteoporosis, and another 34 million Americans are at risk of developing the disease, which is characterized by a severe loss of bone mineral density, fragile bones and an increased risk of hip, spine and wrist fractures. view more (2007-03-06)
Dormant stem cells for emergencies
Many specialized cells, such as in the skin, intestinal mucosa or blood, have a lifespan of only a few days. For these tissues to function, a steady replenishment of specialized cells is indispensable. This is the task of so-called "adult" stem cells also known as tissue stem cells. view more (2008-12-05)
Orthogem Ltd raises £250,000 for synthetic bone graft material
Orthogem Ltd has closed a funding round of £250,000 to develop its innovative synthetic bone graft material. A substantial part of the finance has been raised from business angel investors in The Oxfordshire Investment Opportunity Network (OION), Europe's most successful business angel network. Additional amounts have been secured from a mix... view more... (2003-05-23)
Calorie restriction does not appear to induce bone loss in overweight adults
Young adults who follow a diet that is low in calories but nutritionally sound for six months appear to lose weight and fat without significant bone loss. view more (2008-09-22)
New study finds a positive association between periodontal disease and coronary heart disease
Researchers found an increased risk of coronary heart disease for people below the age of 60 who have more than four millimeters of alveolar bone loss (the bone that holds the teeth in the mouth) from periodontal disease. view more (2006-09-27)
Portraits of the ancients reveal a lot about neurological disease
Portraits of the ancients tell us much about neurological disease, without the need to examine neural tissue, finds a study in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry. The research team carefully examined 200 colour portraits of mummies for signs of neurological disease, housed in the British Museum, London, and the Metropolitain... view more... (2001-03-13)
Weight loss surgery may be associated with bone loss
Weight loss surgery may be linked to deficiencies in calcium and vitamin D and bone loss, according to a new study accepted for publication in The Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism (JCEM). view more (2008-09-23)
