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

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 ...

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 ...

Over the past decade, 3D printing has gone from being a futuristic idea to a revolutionary tool. In medicine, its ability to produce custom-made, complex structures is changing the way doctors treat ...

Whether they're caused by injury, disease or other factors, missing sections of bone can be quite difficult to replace. A new injectable hydrogel could change that, however, by transforming into a ...

After serious injuries, burns, fractures, or major surgeries, the body normally repairs damaged tissues and restores movement. However, in some patients, the healing process takes an unexpected and ...

CHENNAI: Researchers from the National Centre for Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (NCNSNT), University of Madras (UoM), have ...

Bone fractures usually heal efficiently, but in some patients this process fails, causing nonunion. A recent study identifies ...

When children break a bone, the traditional process of inserting metal implants, only to remove them once the bone is healed, can be difficult, stressful and even harmful to their still-growing bodies ...

A new grant from the National Institutes of Health is supporting work led by UD mechanical engineer Michael Hast and his graduate students Farzad Abdi and Badhan Saha to improve methods to monitor ...
