Birmingham researchers have shown PEPITEM, a naturally occurring peptide (small protein) holds promise as a new therapeutic for osteoporosis and other disorders that feature bone loss, with distinct ...

Osteoporosis, characterized by an imbalance in bone remodeling, is a growing health concern worldwide. Previous research has highlighted the role of osteogenic CpG oligodeoxynucleotide (iSN40) in ...

When we think of type 2 diabetes, images of heart problems or kidney damage often come to mind. But lurking quietly behind these well-known complications is another serious threat—bone disease.

A recent study identifies Neural EGFL-like 2 (NELL2), a secreted protein, as a key regulator of bone homeostasis, offering potential therapeutic applications for osteoporosis. NELL2 promotes ...

Studies by University of Birmingham researchers suggest that a naturally occurring peptide known as PEPITEM (Peptide Inhibitor of Trans-Endothelial Migration), could represent a promising potential ...

In people's early- to mid-20s, they reach what is called peak bone mineral density, which is higher for men than it is for women, according to researchers. This peak is one of the main determinants of ...

Eating prunes has been long known to keep your toilet trips regular, but scientists have found another benefit of these dried fruit snacks. Prunes have been linked to improved bone structure and ...
