Bone regrowth can now be enhanced in humans by manipulating activities of opposing molecular pathways. Biologists at the University of Oregon have opened the window on the natural process of bone regeneration in zebra fish and the insights they gained could be used to advance therapies for bone fractures and disease. The team has shown that two molecular pathways work in concert to allow adult zebra fish to perfectly replace bones lost upon fin amputation. ...Sunday, 2 February 2014
