Brief description Childhood chemotherapy often causes growth arrest, osteoporosis, and fractures in cancer patients and survivors. Using a rat model, this project will study how the most commonly used chemotherapy drug methotrexate causes bone growth defects and examine any protective effects of two natural-derived substances. This work will increase our knowledge on chemotherapy-induced bone growth defects, and will be useful for developing a preventative treatment.
