Researchers uncover a redox-regulated mechanism that determines whether bone fractures heal or progress to nonunion ...

Young babies and newborn mice can naturally heal damage to the bones that form the top of the skull, but this ability is lost in adults. In a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy ...

A Russian research team has developed biodegradable bone screws that could offer a safer and more body-compatible alternative to the ...

It was previously assumed that bones lacked lymphatic vessels, but new research from the MRC Human Immunology Unit at Oxford's MRC Weatherall Institute for Molecular Medicine not only locates them ...

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 ...

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 ...

When the gel is injected into a bone deficit then irradiated with harmless visible light, its polymer chains crosslink with one another, causing it to become a strong, porous, biodegradable solid that ...

Some painkillers may delay, or event prevent, bones healing say scientists. A US study found that when rats were given non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), their broken bones healed more ...

Young babies and newborn mice can naturally heal damage to the bones that form the top of the skull, but this ability is lost in adults. Researchers developed a novel approach that promoted bone ...
