Pathways to Prevention Workshop Appropriate Use of Drug Therapies for Osteoporotic Fracture Prevention (Day 2)
About Osteoporotic Fractures
More than 10 million people in the United States have osteoporosis, a skeletal disorder that causes bones to become weak and fragile as a result of low bone mass. The condition makes people more susceptible to fractures, which can impair their ability to live independently and even threaten their lives. The social and economic burden of osteoporotic fractures is substantial. Reducing osteoporosis prevalence and hip fracture incidence are among the major objectives of Healthy People 2020, the U.S. Department of Health& Human Services ’ national health promotion and disease prevention initiativ...

Bone Marrow Aging and the PTH Receptor: A Model of Integrative Physiology
Trans-NIH GeroScience Interest Group (GSIG)
Dr. Cliff Rosen is a Senior Scientist and the Director of the Center for Clinical and Translational Research at the Maine Medical Center Research Institute (MMCRI). His laboratory studies the mesenchymal stem cell fate as it relates to the switch between pre-adipocytes and pre-osteoblasts. The focus of these efforts relates to cell autonomous factors such as substrate utilization and bioenergetics of the osteoblast and cell non-autonomous determinants such as parathyroid hormone and sympathetic tone. Dr. Rosen ’ s current projects, supported by the NIH, revolve around the origi...

Nanolayered drug-release systems for regenerative medicine and targeted nanotherapies
NIH Director's Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
Margaret Pittman Lecture
Alternating electrostatic assembly is a tool that makes it possible to create ultrathin film coatings that contain highly controlled quantities of one or more therapeutic molecules within a singular construct. These release systems greatly exceed the usual ranges of traditional degradable polymers. The nature of the layering process enables the incorporation of different drugs within different regions of the thin-film architecture; the result is an ability to uniquely tailor both the independent-release profiles and order-of-release of each therap...

Bone regenerative engineering: a convergence approach
NIH Director’s Wednesday Afternoon Lecture Series
The treatment of injuries to bone that necessitate bone regeneration continues to be a major challenge for the orthopaedic surgeon. This burden is compounded by the constraints of supply and morbidity associated with autograft tissue, the gold standard of repair. The use of allografts, xenografts, or metal and ceramic implants overcomes many of the limitations associated with autografts but fails to provide a viable solution. Dr. Cato T. Laurencin has worked in the area of bone engineering with a focus on biomaterial selection, scaffold development, cell selection, cell/...
