Graphic shows the sequence of events in the fracture repair process: innervation (nerve fiber growth and supply), vascularization (blood vessel growth and supply), ossification (production of ...

A medical research team at Saarland University, led by Professor Bergita Ganse, has discovered a new approach to monitoring bone fracture healing by measuring blood supply to the tissue at the ...

Bone has an extraordinary capacity to heal after injury, restoring its structure and mechanical function without leaving a scar. Yet for a clinically significant number of patients, this regenerative ...

The study uncovers a unique reparative function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the process of fracture healing, a discovery that adds a new dimension to our understanding of the immune response in ...

Bone fractures usually heal efficiently, but in some patients this process fails, causing nonunion. A recent study identifies Apex1 as a redox-regulated driver of fracture repair. Using genetic mouse ...

Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to non-union. Bone has an extraordinary capacity to heal after injury, restoring its structure ...

People often fracture or break the bones in their hands or wrists after traumatic injuries. Fractures can cause pain and swelling around the injury. Fractures can also change the position of your ...

A team of Brazilian researchers has produced a graphene-based scaffold that, when implanted into broken rat tibias, drove ...

A comminuted fracture is when a bone breaks into three or more pieces. These typically require surgery and take longer to heal than other fractures. A comminuted fracture happens when you break a bone ...
