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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A tool made from a modified glue gun can now repair broken bones in surgery by 3D-printing grafts directly onto them. Bone implants have historically been made of metal, donor bone and more recently ...

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 ...
