Bone fracture healing is a highly coordinated process involving inflammation, fibrovascular formation, and mineralization. Vascularization plays a pivotal role, as inadequate blood supply can severely ...

CD47-null femoral fractures show reduced bone formation, but increased tissue mineral density. µCT analysis of transverse femoral fracture in WT (n = 9) and CD47-null (n = 11-14) mice at 10- and ...

Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) might someday help bone fracture patients manage their pain, according to a new study. In a study in mice, the researchers unexpectedly found that the ...

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 ...

UD engineer Michael Hast leads an NIH-funded effort to identify impaired bone healing earlier with MRI-based computer models Healing a broken bone can take months, and knowing whether recovery is on ...

“What surprised us was how reversible the process turned out to be,” notes Dr. Baht. “Even in aged animals, bone-forming cells retained their regenerative potential once the inhibitory signal was ...

Working with her team at Saarland University, Bergita Ganse (photo) has discovered that commercially available devices for examining blood flow and oxygen saturation in skin and muscles can also be ...

Orthopedic implants are used to fixate the bone fragments of fractures. Novel smart implants are now being developed that can continuously monitor and actively promote bone healing—by, for example, ...

That unmistakable sound of bone giving way under pressure sends immediate dread through anyone who hears it. Broken bones account for millions of medical visits annually in the United States alone, ...

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 ...
