Regenerative Biology: A New Molecule Regenerates Bone Tissue

Researchers from California discover the key to simplifying the creation of engineered bones: adenosine. This naturally occurring molecule can be injected into bone tissue to coax human pluripotent stem cells to regenerate. REGENERATING BONE TISSUE The incidence of bone disorders, particularly in populations where aging is tied to rising obesity rates and poor physical activity. Bone disorders have been increasing steadily— so much so that it is expected to double in the coming years. To date, bone grafts have been the only solution to this problem. But researchers from the University of California in San Diego have now found a…
