The Wnt/β-catenin pathway regulates multiple biological events during embryonic development, including bone formation. Fracture repair recapitulates some of the processes of normal bone development, ...

In a study published in Cell Research, researchers have identified a fibrous-layer resident subpopulation of P-SSCs labeled by Angptl7. They found that these cells are crucial for bone fracture repair ...

Bone repair and osteogenic potential diminish with ageing, with corresponding implications for fracture repair in elderly individuals. A new study published in Nature Communications shows that young ...

For patients with a broken shin bone, a new generation of smart orthopedic implants is being developed that can not only monitor healing progression at the bone fracture site, but can use controlled ...

For a child, recovering from a broken bone is typically a short-lived, albeit painful, convalescence. But for older adults, it can be a protracted and potentially life-threatening process. Finding ...

New research highlights a novel bone anabolic agent that, when injected, intravenously reduces femur fracture healing time by 60 percent without impacting the surrounding healthy tissue. There are ...

Japanese researchers are testing a surprising, minimally invasive way to repair spine fractures. A team at Osaka Metropolitan University found that stem cells from fat tissue can repair breaks similar ...

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Paragon 28, Inc. (NYSE: FNA) is pleased to announce the launch of the Phantom® Fibula Nail System, designed to give surgeons a less invasive option to treat the ...

Severe fractures in infants can heal on their own through a process that has eluded scientists. A study now reveals that a fractured arm bone in newborn mice can rapidly realign through a previously ...

Researchers created a special glue gun that can 3D print a bone-like substance for fracture repair during surgery and have tested it in early experiments. The prime motive of this innovation is to ...

Researchers have developed a novel biomaterial like a bandage. Stem cells and bone cells are grown on the bandage and stuck on the fracture. They can speed the process of healing. Novel material that ...
