New study reveals how collagen receptors beta1 integrin and DDR2 cooperate to control skeletal progenitor cells for enhanced bone regeneration and healing.

A polymer membrane implant that speeds bone healing is headed soon to a human clinical trial. A new animal study indicates that healing time is about 40% faster for the new product from a company ...

Bone repair depends on skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs) moving to injured areas and developing into bone-forming cells, but ...

During bone healing, skeletal progenitor cells (SPCs), which can multiply and develop into bone-forming cells, move to the injury site and help build ...

Most guns are tools for doing harm, but a team of American and Korean scientists has developed one that does the opposite, helping to patch up bone injuries. It comes a bit short of the Medigun from ...

Healing a broken bone can take months, and knowing whether recovery is on track often takes just as long. Doctors typically rely on periodic X-rays, capturing two-dimensional images to see how the ...

Researchers at the University of Arizona College of Medicine—Tucson found evidence that a drug that improves the ability to walk in people with multiple sclerosis can also make bone fractures heal ...

Tiny implantable sensors are being developed to help heal broken bones quicker. The devices allow data-enabled resistance training to speed up the natural healing process in lab rats, say American ...

A broken bone failing to heal represents an enormous burden for patients, which also often leads to further additional surgeries being required. Fraunhofer researchers have worked alongside partners ...

Bone breakages are a common injury worldwide. Some of these heal readily, whereas other injuries do not and this leads to long-term injuries and this risk of disability. Slow-healing or non-healing ...

For children born with cleft lip and palate, repairing gaps in the jawbone often means waiting until they are 10 to 12 years old before undergoing invasive bone graft surgery. University of Sydney ...

It's time to rewrite the textbook description of bone fracture healing. The findings shift understanding of how fractures heal and have implications for efforts to promote fracture repair. "Many of ...
