Using nanotechnology, UCLA researchers develop safer method for bone regrowth
UCLA researchers have developed new nanotechnology that can be used to regenerate bone in patients facing bone loss. In a study published in September, the researchers found that simultaneously altering the expression levels of two genes related to bone formation led to increased production of a protein that forms bones called BMP-2, said Dr. Read more...
