by eLife Credit: eLife (2024). DOI: 10.7554/eLife.104068.1 A combination of intermittent fasting and a specialized biomedical bandage can restore bone healing in aged mice to levels seen in young animals, according to new research. The scientists say rigorous analysis provides compelling evidence for the potential new therapeutic approach, with the promise for also rejuvenating repair across other tissues....

Role of lymphatic system in bone healing revealed
by University of Oxford Graphical Abstract. Credit: Cell (2023). DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2022.12.031 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 within bone tissue, but demonstrates their role in bone and blood cell regeneration and reveals changes...

Speeding up bone healing in menopausal females
by Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance Credit: Shutterstock Older women heal bone fractures slower than men. Now a team has found that a single, localized delivery of estrogen to a fracture can speed up healing in postmenopausal mice. The findings could have implications for the way fractures in women are treated in the future. Over...

Suppressed immune response linked to failed bone healing
If all goes as envisioned, research done at the UO could one day lead to a blood test to guide treatment for trauma victims whose bones may be slow to heal. A team led by Robert Guldberg of the UO’s Phil and Penny Knight Campus for Accelerating Scientific Impact reported that measurements of specific immune cells and...

The effectiveness of electrical stimulation in producing spinal fusion
JOURNAL OF NEUROSURGERY PUBLISHING GROUP CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (OCTOBER 8, 2019). Researchers from The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published data on the effect of electrical stimulation therapies on spinal fusion. They found significant improvement overall in the rates of bone fusion following a course of electrical stimulation...
