A bone callus forms as part of the normal healing process after a bone fracture. It develops at the site of the fracture, around 2 to 6 weeks after the bone is broken.

For some time now, we've heard about scaffolding-like materials that are implanted into bone fractures, prompting the body's own bone cells to grow into them and heal the break. Now, however ...

Ultrasound-powered devices for bone healing also have a long history of use. Bioventus’ Exogen system uses a method initially approved by the FDA in 1994.

Bone morphogenic proteins are important regulators of bone regeneration, while platelet-derived growth factors help regulate cell growth and division. Alone, BMP2 helps increase bone mass and healing.

A medical research team at Saarland University, led by Professor Bergita Ganse, has discovered a new approach to monitoring bone fracture healing by measuring blood supply to the tissue at the ...

Tucson found evidence that a drug that improves the ability to walk in people with multiple sclerosis can also make bone fractures heal faster.

Now, scientists have added carbon fibers to the material to also make it self-healing. In its current form, calcium phosphate cement is typically injected into bone-break sites in the form of a paste.

A team of researchers has developed a new biomaterial with high potential in in the treatment of bone lesions or minimal residual disease in multiple myeloma patients. The findings showcase a ...

New material reduces bacterial infection and speeds up bone healing Date: November 29, 2023 Source: RCSI Summary: Researchers have developed a new surgical implant that has the potential to ...

Material scientists at the University of Jena have developed a bone replacement based on calcium phosphate cement and reinforced with carbon fibers. The fibers increase damage tolerance and ensure ...
