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 ...

Angulated fractures involve a broken bone that tilts at an angle. Most cases require some form of realignment using a cast or other measures for proper healing. An angulated fracture occurs when a ...

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 ...

During a complicated bone surgery, every second matters. The longer a wound is open, the more likely it is to become infected and injured. Now picture this: Surgeons can now print a new piece of bone ...

Every year, nearly 10 million Americans experience a broken bone. A quarter of patients with lower leg fractures face delayed healing, and one in 10 patients will develop a nonunion, a break that ...

Bone fracture healing is a highly coordinated process involving inflammation, fibrovascular formation, and mineralization. Vascularization plays a pivotal role, as inadequate blood supply can severely ...

Penn Medicine researchers unveiled in a recently published paper that a type of stem cell originating in skeletal muscle cells can turn into bone. Published in the Proceedings of the National Academy ...

Researchers in Brazil have developed a graphene-based scaffold derived from industrial waste that attracted bone cells and ...

Vitamin D plays a crucial role in injury recovery, from bone healing to muscle repair and inflammation control. Experts say ...

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 ...
