Do you do research focused on bone adaptation? Great, be sure take advantage of this abstract extension and submit your work to the "In vivo bone adaptation" theme. @mchvdm and I have lined up some excellent speakers for this session. You wont want to miss out!
Abstract Submission Deadline Extended!
Upon many requests from fellow researchers, the Scientific Committee has decided to extend the abstract submission deadline to 15 December 2021.

Institute member Dr. Brent Edwards co-leads a study published in #JBMR that finds that an annual infusion of zoledronic acid could help attenuate bone loss in adults with acute spinal cord injury.

"Given the feasibility and general safety of a one-time infusion, zoledronic acid may represent an effective front-line therapy to prevent bone loss and fracture after spinal cord injury.” @edwardswb @McCaigInstitute @uofcknes bit.ly/37AThpj
