A team of ISFR members shows that mechanical cues can modulate macrophage activity during fracture healing. Mechano-immunomodulation affects angiogenesis 🩸 and osteogenesis 🦴. Could the immune system be the key to smarter bone repair strategies? Find out more here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40409508/

Mechano-immunomodulation of macrophages influences the regenerative environment of fracture healing through the regulation of angiogenesis and osteogenesis - PubMed

Successful completion of the initial inflammatory phase is critical for the establishment of a regenerative environment conducive to long-term fracture healing. Mechanical signals are among the most p...

🦴⚡🚑 Orthopedic trauma patients often battle anemia & low iron. An observational study in 844 ortho trauma patients done by ISFR members finds that it’s very common — and raises the question: could treating anemia boost recovery?🩸🦴
