Bone fractures, especially those resulting from osteoporosis, are a common problem and lead to a serious decrease in quality of life. Scientists from Osaka Metropolitan University used stem cells taken from adipose tissue and developed them to mature into bone cells, combined them with a calcium compound commonly used in bone grafting and dental implants. The scientists say in a report published in the journal Bone & Joint Research, in experiments on mice with fractures in the fourth and fifth vertebrae due to osteoporosis, after 4 and 8 weeks, and after conducting various relevant tests, there was an improvement in the formation of new bones, correction of injuries, and a significant enhancement in bone strength. Also observed was the activation of genes responsible for bone formation and renewal. They say the technique is relatively easy and the treatment is much less invasive than traditional fracture surgery. This technology is expected to become a new treatment that helps extend the healthy lifespan of patients, but more research is needed before applying this technology to humans.
