The FDA has granted clearance to a wearable belt that delivers targeted vibrations to the spine and hips as the first non-drug prescription medical device to treat low bone density, the precursor to osteoporosis. Shown to be effective in clinical trial… Continue reading FDA clearance of first prescription wearable to treat low bone density

In what will soon be commonplace in drug research, scientists have used an artificial-intelligence algorithmic program to identify a compound, currently used in antimalarial treatment, that can effectively reverse the bone deterioration of osteoporosis… Continue reading AI used in identifying an antimalarial drug that can reverse osteoporosis
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 300,000 Americans aged 65 and older are hospitalized for hip fractures each year. The major health issues come in the wake of the break. One in three adults over the age of 50… Continue reading Improving bone strength by just 3% slashes hip fracture rate by 45%
Scientists have discovered a molecule that plays an important role in relaying information about how cells are ‘pushed’ or ‘pulled’ to our brains, and changing this signaling behavior could provide effective cell therapies to prevent or reverse both os… Continue reading Molecular discovery has potential to one day reverse obesity, osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is characterized by the deterioration of bone tissue, resulting in weak bones that are easily broken. There may be new hope for treating the disease, however, utilizing a naturally occurring hormone.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Scien… Continue reading Naturally occurring hormone could offer a better osteoporosis treatment
Researchers at the University of Arizona have developed an ultra-thin device that permanently bonds onto bones, and beams data out wirelessly. The breakthrough could allow doctors to monitor the health of a patient’s bones over time, or how well they’r… Continue reading Wireless sensor grows into bone to monitor health data in real-time
A new study analyzing health records from several hundred thousand people in Denmark has identified a link between low rates of type 2 diabetes and osteoporosis patients treated with a drug called alendronate. The researchers hypothesize the drug may p… Continue reading Reduced risk of type 2 diabetes linked to cheap, common osteoporosis drug
Scientists looking into the biological mechanisms behind deteriorating bones have made a discovery that could help tackle age-related conditions like osteoporosis, by rejuvenating stem cells that are central to the process. The newly published study de… Continue reading Sodium acetate acts as a potential fountain of youth for aging bones
By taking their microscopes to the skeletal structures of the human body, scientists in Australia have unearthed an entirely new type of bone cell, one they believe may play an important role in the development of various bone diseases. The new cell sw… Continue reading Newly discovered bone cell offers a fresh target for skeletal diseases
