Abstract
The Australian and New Zealand Bone and Mineral Society (ANZBMS) is a leading bone research society in the Asia-Pacific region and has been recognised for outstanding contributions to clinical and biomedical musculoskeletal research. To showcase the research being undertaken by ANZBMS members, a joint initiative between ANZBMS and the journal Bone via a special issue was developed to further enhance international collaboration. This editorial serves as an introduction to this initiative, where three past ANZBMS presidents have shared their clinical and fundamental highlights from the 2024 ANZBMS annual scientific meeting in Adelaide, held in conjunction with the Endocrine Society of Australia and the Society for Reproductive Biology. Highlights include the importance of ethnicity when considering fracture risk, influence of paternal age on bone health in their offspring, novel combinations of bone active medications, bone biology and cancer, effect of glucocorticoids on the formation of neurogenic heterotopic ossification, parathyroid hormone signalling in hematopoietic and osteogenic lineages in the bone microenvironment and the regulation of osteoclast formation. Through a highly regarded platform such as Bone, and in line with the wider aims of the ANZBMS, this collaboration provides an update on the work being conducted by members of the society.
