The lads talked to each other about the exciting news that the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (Nice) announced it had approved a new drug, Abaloparatide, for use by the health service. It will be available for use on the NHS in England within three months.
-
The lads talk to Dr Friederike Schulte about exciting research which shows that mechanical loading potentiates the effect of anabolic treatments for osteoporosis, leading to bigger gains in bone mass and strength. Friederike also spoke to us about her role in public outreach as a Co-Founder at the Swiss Fall Prevention Center. The startup works in the community to share knowledge about fall prevention with people at risk of a fracture, including expert lectures in senior and residential homes.

The lads talked to Dr. Madhavi Vindlacheruvu about frailty and osteoporosis. We discussed what frailty is and how it can be diagnosed, as well as the patient-centred care developed and practiced by the teams at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge. Pre- and post-fracture care is more complex than you would think in geriatric patients. Dr Madhavi is a consultant orthogeriatrican at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge and Clinical lead for National Hip Fracture Database, and the Fracture Liaison Services at the trust
-
The lads talk to Dr Jennie Walsh about bone health in teenager years and young adults. We discussed how doctors asses and treat low bone density in young people. We also talked about the effect of eating disorders on bone health. Dr Walsh is a Senior Clinical Lecturer in the Metabolic Bone Centre at the University of Sheffield.
-
The lads talk to each other and David chats to Richie about his research into bone quality at Imperial College London. Hear about how air pollution can cause osteoporosis, why ballet dancers get stress fractures and everything you wanted to know about nanoscale bone health in this month’s episode of BoneUp the podcast.
-
The lads talked to Dr Jarod Wong about Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and new research for developing international management guidelines. Dr Wong is using a mixed methods approach to include patients and their families in the design of new management strategies.
-
The lads went to Liverpool for the European Calcified Tissue Society annual meeting in 2023. A huge collection of bone scientists creating basic and clinical research. Join us for a fascinating insight into what's hot in bone research now!Every guest received an iconic and rare BoneUp Live mug!

Want to know how to eat to reduce your risk of a hip-fractures? It’s a question our listeners are always asking so the lads reached out to Australia to talk to Dr Sandra Luliano who led an investigation reporting that the risk of falls and of bone and hip fractures decreased in older adults if they received additional daily servings of dairy. The results were startling: 33% fewer bone fractures, 46% fewer hip fractures and 11% fewer falls.
Dr Sandra Luliano is a senior researcher at the University of Melbourne based at Austin Health.

Have you ever wondered where osteoporosis medicines come from? The lads went on a journey to find out by talking to Dr Cesar Libanati and Dr Alistair Henry about discovering new medicines and getting them to you the listener. The interview is a fascinating insight into how to change the world and make it a better place for us all to live.
Cesar Libanati is the head of external affairs and medical strategy for bone at UCB. Alistair Henry is the Head of discovery science and UK Site head at UCB.

The lads visited the BRS Meeting 2022 in Manchester to bring you up to date with the most recent discoveries in bone science.
We interviewed a wide variety of clinical and basic scientists from undergraduates taking their first steps in science all the way up to global professors setting treatment guidelines.
And to cap it all we won the Neil Mackenzie Public Engagement Award 2022!!

Welcome to the first bonus episode of Bone UP. The first new treatment fir osteoporosis in a decade has been approved in the UK, and many countries around the world.
Romosozumab is a new drug treatment for some people living with osteoporosis. It may be suitable if you’ve already broken a bone due to osteoporosis and are at high risk of breaking another.
Richie and David discuss the approval system in the UK, treatment guidelines and mechanism of action. Enjoy!

The lads talk to Kirstie Donaghey and Prof Stuart Ralston about pregnancy-associated osteoporosis.
Kirstie suffered multiple osteoporotic fractures shortly after giving birth to her son Freddy and explains the patient journey and perspectives from fracture to treatment. Stuart is a Rheumatologist from the University of Edinburgh with an interest in bone disease. He talks to us about his new research project to investigate osteoporosis in pregnancy.
