More WIRE STORIES about this company

 PROFILE
Battling brittle bones is Ostex International's bag. The company develops therapies and diagnostics for skeletal and connective-tissue diseases. Ostex's first product, Osteomark, is a urine test that measures the rate of a person's bone loss; the test can lead to the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. The company also makes an Osteomark blood test to detect osteoarthritis at an early stage by measuring collagen levels in joint cartilage. Ostex's partners include Johnson & Johnson (which distributes Osteomark in the US and elsewhere), Mochida Pharmaceutical (its Japanese distributor), and Metrika (which, with Ostex, has developed a point-of-care Osteomark test).
