Background: Osteoporosis is commonly treated with bisphosphonates. These drugs promote osteoclast apoptosis, which suppresses bone resorption. However, the probability of side effects increases with long-term use of bisphosphonates.

Investigating the efficacy of bisphosphonates treatment against multiple myeloma induced bone disease using a computational model [PDF]
Multiple myeloma (MM)-induced bone disease is mortal for most MM patients. Bisphosphonates are first-line treatment for MM-induced bone disease, since it can inhibit osteoclast activity and the resultant bone resorption by suppressing the differentiation

Non-bisphosphonate inhibitors of isoprenoid biosynthesis identified via computer-aided drug design. [PDF]
The relaxed complex scheme, a virtual-screening methodology that accounts for protein receptor flexibility, was used to identify a low-micromolar, non-bisphosphonate inhibitor of farnesyl diphosphate synthase.

Association of oral bisphosphonates with cardioembolic ischemic stroke: a nested case-control study
Background: Bisphosphonates have been reported to increase the risk of atrial fibrillation. Therefore, it is conceivable that they may increase the risk of cardioembolic ischemic stroke (IS).

Bisphosphonate-related bilateral atypical femoral fractures : be aware and beware [PDF]
Although bisphosphonates have a well established therapeutic role in the prevention of osteoporosis-related fractures, several reports published over the past 5-6 years suggest a possible causative relationship between long-term use of bisphosphonates ...

Conservative Surgical Treatment of Bisphosphonate-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw with Er,Cr:YSGG Laser and Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Longitudinal Study [PDF]
Introduction: The management of bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ), with no evidence-based guidelines, remains controversial. We aimed to evaluate the efficiency of a conservative surgical treatment combining Er,Cr:YSGG laser and ...

Objective We evaluated the role of 25‐hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D), prednisone, and other risk factors for bone mineral density (BMD) loss and osteoporosis in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods We calculated the association between 25(OH)D levels and other potential risk factors and BMD measures (spine T scores) and osteoporosis (defined as a T ...

Bisphosphonate inhibits the expression of cyclin A2 at the transcriptional level in normal human oral keratinocytes. [PDF]
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) are the most widely used anti-resorptive agents in the treatment of bone-related diseases. N-BPs inhibit bone resorption by specifically targeting osteoclasts, bone-resorbing cells.

Denosumab compared to bisphosphonates to treat postmenopausal osteoporosis: a meta-analysis
Background The standard treatment for osteoporosis was controversial. Denosumab and bisphosphonates were two most common drugs. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy and safety of denosumab with bisphosphonates to treat osteoporosis ...
