Engineered membrane strengthens outer bone in animal models
Experiments in aged animals and animals with reduced weight-bearing found that a membrane targeting inflammation and responses to mechanical forces increased outer bone…Experiments in aged animals and animals with reduced weight-bearing found that a membrane targeting inflammation and responses to mechanical forces increased outer bone thickness.
Mouse studyBones and joints
Who was studiedAged and hindlimb-unloaded mice
What changedThe membrane increased outer bone thickness and strength in aged animals and animals with reduced weight-bearing
The catchThe abstract omits effect sizes and testing duration
