Floating about in microgravity might seem like a blissful reprieve for the human body's weight-bearing skeleton, but when astronauts spend months in space, their bone density takes a serious hit that ...
The permanent loss of amputated digits and limbs is the cost of being human. While worms, amphibians, fish and echinoderms ...
The bone density of astronauts—of both the human and rodent variety—decreases in space. Researchers report April 19 in the journal Cell Reports that changes to the gut microbiomes of space travelers ...
Floating in microgravity may look effortless, but for bones, it’s anything but. Anew NASA study on mice reveals that the bones most critical for bearing weight on Earth are especially vulnerable to ...
Prenatal dexamethasone exposure (PDE) has long-term consequences in bone development, though the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Our results show that PDE offspring exhibit reduced bone mass, ...
A newly discovered hormone that keeps the bones of breastfeeding women strong could also help bone fractures heal and treat osteoporosis in the broader population. Researchers at UC San Francisco and ...
Systemic lupus erythematosus requires glucocorticoids for management. This study investigates how glucocorticoids influence bone in a SLE mouse model, focusing on bone mineral density (BMD), ...
Postmenopausal osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them brittle and prone to fracture. Taking the hormone estradiol can reverse these effects, but it may also increase endometrial ...
