Premenopausal risk factors for osteoporosis
, 2001 Osteoporosis is a major public health problem because of its association with fractures. Prevention of osteoporosis is of utmost importance in reducing the health and human costs related to the disease. Bone mass in adult life is determined partly by the

Type 2 diabetes affects bone cells precursors and bone turnover
BMC Endocrine Disorders, 2018 Background Here we study the effect of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) on bone cell precursors, turnover and cytokines involved in the control of bone cell formation and activity. Methods We enrolled in the study 21 T2DM women and 21 non diabetic controls matched

PituitaryAbstractBone impairment associated with Cushing’s disease (CD) is a complex disorder, mainly involving deterioration of bone quality and resulting in an increased fracture rate, often despite normal bone mineral density. Bone complications are common in patients with CD at the time of diagnosis but may persist even after successful treatment.

Clinical factors associated with trabecular bone score.
, 2013 Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) measurement of bone mineral density (BMD) is the reference standard for diagnosing osteoporosis but does not directly reflect deterioration in bone microarchitecture.

VEGF-expressing mesenchymal stem cells for improved angiogenesis in regenerative medicine : a bone tissue engineering approach [PDF]
, 2011 Rapid vascularization of tissue-engineered grafts is a major bottleneck in the development of regenerative medicine approaches. In order to overcome this limitation, we aimed to develop a bone tissue engineering strategy combining cell therapy with pro ...

Close to the bone: investigations into bone tissue mineralisation and mechanobiology of osteoporosis
, 2012 Osteoporosis is a metabolic skeletal disease characterized by low bone mass, depleted micro-architecture and reduced strength. The public health costs of osteoporosis relate almost entirely to the fractures that are the clinical manifestation of the ...
