A medical research team at Saarland University, led by Professor Bergita Ganse, has discovered a new approach to monitoring bone fracture healing by measuring blood supply to the tissue at the ...

Bone fracture healing is a highly coordinated process involving inflammation, fibrovascular formation, and mineralization. Vascularization plays a pivotal role, as inadequate blood supply can severely ...

Cannabidiol (CBD) and cannabigerol (CBG) might someday help bone fracture patients manage their pain, according to a new study. In a study in mice, the researchers unexpectedly found that the ...

CD47-null femoral fractures show reduced bone formation, but increased tissue mineral density. µCT analysis of transverse femoral fracture in WT (n = 9) and CD47-null (n = 11-14) mice at 10- and ...

That unmistakable sound of bone giving way under pressure sends immediate dread through anyone who hears it. Broken bones account for millions of medical visits annually in the United States alone, ...

Smart implants that not only stabilize a fracture but also monitor the healing process from day one—and deliver targeted support when required—are currently being developed at Saarland University by a ...

Working with her team at Saarland University, Bergita Ganse (photo) has discovered that commercially available devices for examining blood flow and oxygen saturation in skin and muscles can also be ...
