A new study by researchers at the University of North Carolina shows that adult stem cells can help treat bone fractures that fail to heal, according to a report in the Times of India.
Researchers took adult stem cells from the bone marrow of mice with leg fractures, engineered them to express a potent bone regenerator, transplanted the treated cells back into the mice and observed that the mice had better healing than an untreated control group.
One of the researchers was due to present the findings at the Endocrine Society’s Annual Meeting on Monday.
