Faster Healing for Severe Fractures
Melissa Knothe Tate, of Case Western Reserve University, and Ulf Knothe, of the Cleveland Clinic, have shown that the stem-cell rich periosteum sheath around bone can be used to mend serious bone loss faster and more simply than bone grafts. The pair has developed an artificial periosteum that can be implanted in patients who have too little of the natural covering left.
"The sock-like sheath on the outside of the bone is a habitat for stem cells," Knothe Tate explained.
"Just like in the embryo, given the right trigger, the cells build bone like crazy," Knothe Tate said.
"The next step is to bring the technology to the clinic, to broaden its access to the general public beyond the top clinics, for example for patients relying on hospitals in rural areas, as well as for soldiers injured on the battlefield," Knothe said.
