Cracking the Code: How Graft Porosity and Pore Size Unlock Bone Graft Success
Bone is an extraordinary tissue: porous, self-renewing, and load-bearing; all thanks to a complex interplay of bone cells, blood vessels, and a matrix of organic
Bone Grafts and Substitutes in Fracture Repair – Part 3
Synthetic bone graft substitutes (BGS) and extenders remain central to the future of bone regeneration with rapid innovation in materials and delivery strategies.
Bone Grafts and Substitutes in Fracture Repair – Part 2
In our first post in this series, we explored the ideal characteristics of bone graft substitutes (BGS), emphasizing their osteoinductive, osteoconductive, osteogenic, bioresorbable, and biocompatible properties.
Osteoimmunology: Bridging Bone and Immune System Interactions
What do osteoporosis, periodontitis, and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have in common? Could their shared mechanisms hold the key to improving bone repair?
Understanding How Autoimmunity Impacts Bones: When Your Body Can’t Tell Friend from Foe
We’ve been discussing the fascinating connections between the immune and skeletal systems in our current blog series on Osteoimmunology. But what happens when those interactions turn hostile?
Bone-Immune System Interactions: Implications for Rheumatoid Arthritis
What is the most common autoimmune disorder? The correct answer is Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), affecting more than 18 million people worldwide, with annual treatment costs estimated at $20,000 per patient.
Bone Grafts and Substitutes in Fracture Repair – Part 1
What if bones could heal faster and stronger with the help of materials designed in a lab?
From Tiny Bones to Big Breaks: A Primer on Fracture Recovery
The smallest bone in the human body is roughly the size of a grain of rice! The stapes, a stirrup-shaped bone inside your middle ear, may be tiny, but it plays a huge role in hearing by transmitting sound vibrations to the inner ear.
Healing Broken Bones: The Latest Advances in Fracture Repair
Breaking a bone is more than just an inconvenience – it’s a journey of recovery that can take weeks or even months, depending on the severity of the fracture and the treatment approach.
Harnessing Osteoimmunology to Improve Bone Health and Fracture Repair
In this blog series focused on osteoimmunology, we explored the fascinating intersection of bone biology and the immune system.
