Conference programme dedicated to early career scientists
by Carmen Huesa & Annegreet Veldhuis

ECTS has always cared deeply for the development of the "younger" members of the society and, in that spirit, always endeavours to provide a programme that encourages, motivates and inspires the early career members. The ECTS academy has therefore put together a series of events to take place during the conference aiming not only to expand your knowledge and give you an opportunity to present in public in a less intimidating environment, but also to network, get advice and, why not, have some fun. Whether you have just started your PhD, you have been a postdoc for more years you care to count or you are a stablished professor who is young at heart, join us for this year's ECTS New Investigator programme.

The Hungarian Society of Osteology and Osteoarthrology.
by István Takács

The Hungarian Society of Osteology and Osteoarthrology (MOOT) was founded in 1990. The Society (www.moot.hu) currently has 450 active members, mainly rheumatologists, endocrinologists and traumatologists. Since its foundation, MOOT has been playing an active role in the treatment of patients with calcium metabolism in Hungary, especially those suffering from osteoporosis. MOOT has been the first in Hungary to issue an osteoporosis professional recommendation, which has been regularly renewed by the Society ever since. Our society plays a crucial role in the development of the therapeutic financing protocol. In our annual 3-day congress, which is the most important scientific forum for doctors dealing with calcium metabolism, around 300-400 colleagues participate each year.

New discoveries in the long bone.
By Carmen Huesa
 
One of the reasons I think bone is probably the most interesting and exciting tissue to study is because, although it has been thoroughly investigated for hundreds of years, it never ceases to surprise us. This is probably because it is a technically difficult tissue to study and as technology advances we manage to look further and deeper into its complexities. This month we bring you an exciting histological study of mouse long bones that led to the discovery of transcortical vessels, which essential in deriving a closed circulatory system in long bones. This marks the discovery of a new anatomical feature, something that rarely occurs in the 21st century. Through whole mount and sections stained for different aspects of vessels and arteries, Grunebroom et. al. present stunning images/videos and a clear characterisation of the transcortical vessels. As images are worth more than a thousand words, just take a look at this exciting paper by clicking in this link
