Fat-derived stem cells repair osteoporotic-type spine fractures in rats
Reported by AI Image generated by AI Fact checked
Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University report that stem cells taken from body fat, formed into bone-leaning spheroids and paired with a common bone-reconstruction material, improved healing and strength in rat models of osteoporotic vertebral fractures. The preclinical findings, published in Bone & Joint Research, point to a potential future therapy if validated in humans.
