Cell differentiation is a widely studied phenomenon forming the basis of all developmental processes including fetal growth and bone fracture healing. A series of recent studies indicates the emerging role of chondrocyte-to-osteoblast ...
When a patient breaks a bone, there's a possibility the fracture won't heal properly or quickly—even with the aid of pins, plates or a cast.
