A novel way to significantly speed up the healing of broken bones in mice has been found by scientists
A novel way to significantly speed up the healing of broken bones in mice has been found by scientists; a feat which, if replicated in humans, could mean people with fractures would be free of their casts a lot sooner.
Jill Helms, Roel Nusse and team at Stanford University in California drilled small holes into the shin bones of mice, and injected them with Wnt proteins.
Fracture - Types - Causes - Symptoms - Diagnosis - Treatment - FAQs
A fracture is a condition where the continuity of the bone is lost. Majority of bone fractures occur because of high force impact or stress on a bone.

Three days later, bone growth was three times greater than in mice injected with a placebo, it was observed.
The approach could prove to be better than adding new stem cells, which can divide uncontrollably.
The research has appeared in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
