That unmistakable sound of bone giving way under pressure sends immediate dread through anyone who hears it. Broken bones account for millions of medical visits annually in the United States alone, ...

A study in Frontiers of Medicine 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 ...

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 ...

For most broken bones, bone cells regrow on their own while patients wear a cast or brace to keep the injury steady. But for complex or severe fractures, surgeons may intervene by placing grafts or ...
