Discovery opens up the possibility of pursuing new therapies for FOP

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is a rare disease characterized by extensive bone growth outside of the normal skeleton that pre-empts the body's normal responses to even minor injuries. It results in what some term a "second skeleton," which locks up joint movement and could make it hard to breathe.

$Common osteoporosis medications protect against hip fracture during a 2-year drug holiday$

Common osteoporosis medications protect against hip fracture during a 2-year drug holiday

New research findings may help physicians and older adults with osteoporosis better manage their hip fracture risk while taking a break from their medication. The first-of-its-kind study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, found that the oral bisphosphonates risedronate and alendronate equally protect against hip fracture during a 2-year drug holiday.
