Researchers have found that bone repair can be improved in mice with large bone lesions by injecting a combination of RNA encoding two different proteins. Their technique is a promising candidate for ...

A new study explores the potential of fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) antagonists in restoring defective mandibular bone repair in mouse models of osteochondrodysplasia, a group of genetic ...

Birmingham researchers have shown PEPITEM, a naturally occurring peptide (small protein) holds promise as a new therapeutic for osteoporosis and other disorders that feature bone loss, with distinct ...

Large bone defects secondary to tumor or trauma and fracture-delayed unions often require bone regeneration enhancements, but the precise mechanisms involved in bone healing have remained clear. In ...

Scientists have shown how wool could offer an effective and sustainable alternative to materials currently used to repair ...

Hydroxyapatite (HA) is an inorganic mineral present in human bone and teeth. It plays a role in the structural strength of bone and in bone regeneration. While it occurs naturally in bone, healthcare ...

From Sega to skeletons—Sonic the Hedgehog may have found a new use. But rather than the speedy blue creature beloved of computer gamers, this sonic is a gene that could play a vital role in repairing ...
