Bone implants often fail to fully integrate with surrounding tissue, limiting their effectiveness in regeneration. A natural but often overlooked cellular process could hold the key to better outcomes ...

Medical researchers have developed a way to use 3D printers to help create new bone mass. Using "bone-bridges", surgeons can implant a printed piece into a patient, which allows new bone to grow ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — A University of Arizona study suggests a drug already approved for multiple sclerosis could help broken bones heal faster and stronger. The drug, 4-aminopyridine, or 4-AP, was ...
