Doctors may have found a new way to help veterans and people with traumatic bone injuries.
Using pluripotent stem cells, researchers at the University of California San Diego have been able to promote bone tissue regeneration in mice with defects on their skull. The researchers say it could be an easy and cheap way to do the same for people with deformities or soldiers who have experienced severe bone trauma in battle, according to a study published Thursday in the journal Science Advances.
