A bioengineering breakthrough which helps repair damaged bones without causing the negative side effects of other treatments could lead to better results for patients, scientists say. It could support the development of new treatments to help people living with serious skeletal injuries or cancer patients who have lost bone to the disease to regrow bone tissue. Researchers in Scotland have found a new way to harness the powerful healing effect of ‘growth factors’ – naturally-occurring molecules which help the body to regenerate. Growth factors play an important role in developmental biology, helping to organise the development of bodies as they
Bioengineering breakthrough could improve bone regeneration treatments as seen on The Hippocratic Post.
