Central European Action group By Gudrun Stenbeck 
   
 
     
ECTS recognises the need for all basic and clinical researchers in the musculoskeletal field in Europe to have access to funding via joint, cross-border initiatives, data sharing and multicentre studies including rare disease studies. To develop these plans, in June 2020 an exciting new initiative has been launched: the Central European Action group. Members of the action group currently come from Serbia, Czech Republic, Russia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Austria. The group is chaired by Gudrun Stenbeck with Petar Milovanovic and Radmila Matijevic co-chairing.

Words of farewell to the ECTS Newsletter. By Teun de Vries, Editor in Chief
   
 
     
The past three years have been my Editor in Chief years for the European Calcified Tissue Society Newsletter. When thinking of how it all started, the ingredients were an international phone call between Brussels, Amsterdam and L’Aquila, with Anna Teti and Roberta Mugnai, with a faulty connection, and before I could hear or say anything I was appointed as the new Editor in Chief. 
 
For the newsletter, we had to find the right chemistry. What works fine, what does not? How long in advance should we plan our activities, who is responsible for what item? And, very important in team work: how can we exploit the qualities of the individual team members to the advantage of the Newsletter? I have introduced a much earlier deadline, one week before the “real” or old deadline. And that has reduced the deadline stress tremendously: if the article had not reached us by the 23rd of the month, we still had one extra week. Simple but efficient!

Perturbation of the bone marrow metabolism could be reversed by exercise intervention. By Cristiana Cipriani.
 
Among the several determinants of bone health, emerging evidence focused on the influence of bone marrow metabolism. The topic is addressed in human studies involving both healthy subjects and participants with different pathological conditions, particularly those associated with altered adipose tissue metabolism. The main perturbation of bone marrow metabolism that was found to significantly and negatively impact bone health was the increase in the adipose tissue content within the bone marrow. This evidence translates in a clinically relevant increase in fracture risk in conditions associated with augmented bone marrow adipose tissue, such as insulin resistance and diabetes.  
 
Ojala et al. conducted an interesting study analyzing bone marrow metabolism in terms of glucose and free fatty acids uptake both at baseline and in response to exercise training in subjects with insulin resistance.
