Age-Dependent Effects of Macrophage Derived Cathelicidin Antimicrobial Peptide on Bone Fracture Repair

Preprint D Not peer reviewed Preclinical

Key takeaways

This study looked at how a specific protein affects bone healing in mice. It found that this protein works differently in young versus old animals. This work was done in animals, not in people yet. It may help explain why older people heal bones more slowly.
