Human Mesenchymal Stromal Cell Sheet Enhances Allograft Repair in a Mouse Model [PDF]
To determine whether cell sheets generated with long-term passaged (P10) aging human mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) could be used for bone tissue regeneration as tissue engineered periosteum in a femoral allograft mouse model similar to fresh passaged (

Fully automated segmentation of callus by micro-CT compared to biomechanics [PDF]
Background A high percentage of closed femur fractures have slight comminution. Using micro-CT (μCT), multiple fragment segmentation is much more difficult than segmentation of unfractured or osteotomied bone.

Utility of ultrasound imaging in monitoring fracture healing in rat femur: Comparison with other imaging modalities [PDF]
Objective: Fractures are common injuries and various imaging modalities are employed to diagnose and monitor bone union. However, the follow-up of fracture healing using ultrasound imaging (US) remains a topic of debate.

Increased Osteoblast GαS Promotes Ossification by Suppressing Cartilage and Enhancing Callus Mineralization During Fracture Repair in Mice [PDF]
GαS, the stimulatory G protein α‐subunit that raises intracellular cAMP levels by activating adenylyl cyclase, plays a vital role in bone development, maintenance, and remodeling. Previously, using transgenic mice overexpressing GαS in osteoblasts (GS‐Tg)

High dose teriparatide (rPTH1-34) therapy increases callus volume and enhances radiographic healing at 8-weeks in a massive canine femoral allograft model. [PDF]
Small animal studies have demonstrated significant high-dose recombinant parathyroid hormone1-34 (rPTH1-34) effects on intercalary allograft healing. Towards a human adjuvant therapy to decrease non-unions, we evaluated rPTH1-34 safety and efficacy in a ...

Association of bone fracture type and degree of callus formation with leptin concentration in children with long bone fractures [PDF]
Background/Aim. Recent studies indicate that adipokines have an important role in bone physiology and pathology. Recent data indicate that adipokine leptin functions as a regulator of bone growth at multiple levels, systemically and locally.

The role of hypertrophic chondrocytes in fracture healing
Fracture healing is a multifactorial process. Most fractures are healed by the process of endochondral ossification, involving the formation of a cartilaginous soft callus and the process of cartilage-tobone transition.
