Stimulating the production of stem cells done by scientists

Stimulation the production of stem cells is in direct comparison with the healing speed

Key points from article :

Scientists stimulated the self-repair response of rats to rebuild broken spines.

Drugs given in the study caused the rats’ bone marrow to produce an elevated number of mesenchymal stem cells.

Treatment could help to not only repair spinal injuries but to speed up the rate at which broken bones heal.

Researchers aim to apply the stimulating mechanism done on rats on humans.
