A spotlight on ECTS 2021. By Anna Teti & Roberta Mugnai 
   
Thank you to everyone who joined us for ECTS 2021 Digital Congress. 
 
After 8 days of live sessions spanning from 6 May until 18 June 2021, we are proud to say that the congress was a great success.  More than 1010 delegates from 56 countries around the world participated in our 2021 Digital Congress, rich in learning and networking.            
 
The highlight of #ECTS2021 was, with no doubt, our coffee shops that helped us in reconnecting our members in an informal and interactive way to discuss about science and not only!
 
We offered an innovative scientific programme, we covered a large number of different topics with several joint sessions.  The level of abstract presentations was outstanding with many abstracts coming from Asia. Let’s not forget the contributions from our corporate colleagues.

The ECTS welcomes three newly elected Board Members. By Bo Abrahamsen
 
   
     
In the AGM on the 4th of May, the ECTS announced the results of the April membership vote for three new Members of the Board of Directors of the society. 
It gives us great pleasure to welcome Claudine Blin, Salvatore Minisola and Willem Lems to the Board.  It is hugely important to have dedicated and experienced ECTS members on the Board of Directors and do this in a way that comes as close as possible to ensuring balanced geography, gender balance and a balance between Basic/Translational and Clinical/Public Health researchers so that the Board can be truly representative of the membership.
 
You will probably recognize our new Board members both from their great contributions to musculoskeletal science and from their experience in the ECTS as members of Scientific Programme Committees for the ECTS congresses and activities in the ECTS Action Groups.

International Society of Bone Morphometry (ISBM). By Thomas J. Wronski and Thomas Levin Geiser Andersen
   
       
The International Society of Bone Morphometry (ISBM), which will soon celebrate its 50th anniversary, has its origin in a series of Workshops on Bone Morphometry, the first of which was held in Ottawa, Canada, in 1973. The founders were a group of prominent international bone morphometrists, including Drs. J. Arnold, H. Frost, Z. Jaworski, W. Jee, F. Melsen, and P. Meunier. The society was incorporated in the USA as a non-profit research organization in 1996 through the efforts of Dr. H. Malluche. The core missions of ISBM are to promote the use of morphometric analyses in bone and cartilage research, to educate and train clinicians and basic scientists in all aspects of bone morphometry, to foster interactions between clinicians and basic scientists that result in translational research, and to make members aware of improvements in existing morphometric techniques as well as the development of novel morphometric techniques. In its early years, the emphasis of ISBM was heavily concentrated on bone histomorphometry. In more recent times, the society has embraced other uses of morphometry such as noninvasive skeletal imaging, high-resolution imaging of bone samples (i.e., microCT), and lineage tracing, intravital imaging, and molecular histology of bone cells.

News from the world: Negative impact of gut microbiota alterations on bone tissue strength in aged mice. By Antonia Sophocleous
 
Even though bone strength is determined by bone quantity and bone quality, most current osteoporosis interventions aim at improving bone quantity. Studies focussing on the gut microbiome have shown that altered commensal gut flora can influence bone quantity in addition to bone tissue quality.
 
Given that most evidence supporting this comes from studies involving young, growing mice, a recent manuscript, published by Castaneda et al. in the June 2021 issue of Bone Reports, explored the impact of alterations to the constituents of the gut microbiome on bone strength in older mice, up to 24 months of age.
