This dynamic nature explains why bones can heal after fractures. When a break occurs, the body activates the same regenerative mechanisms that handle everyday bone maintenance, but at an ...

Increased bone density occurs when calcium salts are deposited at the fracture site (mineralization)—but this only happens later in the healing process," explains Ganse.

For patients with a broken shin bone, a new generation of smart orthopaedic implants is being developed that can not only monitor healing progression at the bone fracture site, but can use ...

A growth factor called IGF1 steered the stem cells into becoming bone cartilage – the glue that begins the bone healing process. Another molecular factor delivered the stem cells to the broken bone.

Cannabinoids continued bolstering the healing process into the repair phase. The CBG and CBD group had a high concentration of proteins essential to bone healing and formation.

Next, they wanted to figure out if and how ApoE affects the multi-step process of bone healing. When you break a bone, your body sends signals through the bloodstream to recruit cells to fix it.

Increased bone density occurs when calcium salts are deposited at the fracture site (mineralization) – but this only happens later in the healing process,’ explains trauma surgeon and ...
