The process of bone healing showcases one of the body’s most remarkable regenerative capabilities, often leaving the bone stronger at the healed site than it was before the injury.

Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the discovery could dramatically improve bone healing ...

Increased bone density occurs when calcium salts are deposited at the fracture site (mineralization)—but this only happens later in the healing process," explains Ganse.

Nottingham scientists create a 'biocooperative' material from patients' blood to repair bones and boost healing, published in Advanced Materials. Led by Prof. Alvaro Mata.

Bone morphogenic proteins are important regulators of bone regeneration, while platelet-derived growth factors help regulate cell growth and division. Alone, BMP2 helps increase bone mass and healing.

A University of Arizona-led study found that 4-aminopyridine sped up bone fracture repair in mouse models, ramping up the activity of key genes.

Over months, the callus hardens into bone, and the healing process is complete. But sometimes, that bridge between the bones fails to form, creating a nonunion.

It's a type of bandage that uses stem cells to speed up the healing process. As CBS2's Dr. Max Gomez reports, scientists at a lab in England are working to revolutionize how bones heal.

Bioactive composite supports healing of broken bones A broken bone failing to heal represents an enormous burden for patients, which also often leads to further additional surgeries being required.

The discovery of the skeletal interoceptive circuit in bone healing process offers us a new treatment strategy on many challenging cases clinically, such as severe bone fracture, osteoporosis and ...
