How our bodies break down and remove old and damaged bone tissue is linked to our inner circadian clock, according to a new study. Researchers focused...
In an unusual case, a 23-year-old man with severe bone loss and spinal fractures has been found to have systemic mastocytosis (SM) – a rare blood...
A new study has revealed how two proteins interact with water and other matrix components to regulate the mechanical behaviour of bone – findings that could...
Researchers have emphasised the critical role of Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) in addressing the growing global burden of osteoporosis-related fractures, particularly hip fractures. The World Health...
Scientists have identified a protein that blocks the activity of bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) by stopping them from maturing during the journey to sites of bone formation,...
Researchers from Osaka University have identified a gene underlying the development of osteoporosis, and have developed a new mouse model, pointing the way for future treatments...
Osteoporosis is a skeletal condition that leads to the weakening of bones, making them porous, fragile, and prone to breakage. A massive 8.9 million fractures are...
A new technology for estimating bone mineral density (BMD) from routine X-rays has received Breakthrough Device Designation from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). OsteoSight...
A $7 million study beginning this summer will help determine if a combination of resistance training and bone-strengthening exercises, coupled with osteoporosis medication or just a...
An oral robotic pill could soon provide an alternative to painful injections in treating osteoporosis and other chronic diseases. Teriparatide (PTH 1-34) has for decades been...
