Researchers at King’s have developed a material that allows transplantation of bone-forming stem cells into severe bone fractures and speeds up the healing process.
This new method improves repair and may change how broken bones are treated.
The study, published today in Nature Materials and supported by the NIHR Guy’s and St Thomas’ BRC, describes stem cells and mature bone cells grown on a biomaterial, in a structure that simulates parts of the healthy bone. The breakthrough could lead to less complications, infections and poor outcomes for serious injuries.
