(PhysOrg.com) -- In research that could open new avenues of investigation in the prevention and treatment of fractures, in bone regeneration and tissue engineering, scientists from Yale School of Medicine have found that a combination of bone marrow aspiration followed by treatment with anabolic parathyroid hormone (PTH) greatly boosted bone regeneration in localized areas in rats. The study appears online in the Journal of Bone and Mineral Research.
