First map of nerve circuitry in bone helps physicians identify key signals for bone repair
When a house catches on fire, we assume that a smoke alarm inside will serve one purpose and one purpose only: warn the occupants of danger. But imagine if the device could transform into something ...
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 ...
The study uncovers a unique reparative function of regulatory T cells (Tregs) in the process of fracture healing, a discovery that adds a new dimension to our understanding of the immune response in ...
The research delves into how mutations in FGFR2 and FGFR3 affect mandibular bone formation and endochondral bone repair following non-stabilized fractures. The findings reveal that FGFR antagonists, ...
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 ...
The first comprehensive single-cell atlas of bone-innervating sensory neurons has identified their dual role in reporting and repairing bone damage, providing a potential target for drugs that might ...

BELLEVUE, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CurvaFix, Inc., a developer of medical devices to repair fractures in curved bones, announced today that it will showcase the new CurvaFix® IM Implant at the American ...
Angulated fractures involve a broken bone that tilts at an angle. Most cases require some form of realignment using a cast or other measures for proper healing. An angulated fracture occurs when a ...
A new mouse study suggests activating a low oxygen response pathway may improve both metabolism and bone health in obesity. Treated mice gained less weight, handled glucose better and showed stronger ...
Holly Ingraham, a physiologist at the University of California, San Francisco, who led the research, has spent the last 15-plus years trying to improve the understanding of female physiology. She ...
