Beta-catenin signaling plays a disparate role in different phases of fracture repair: implications for therapy to improve bone healing.

Beta-catenin signaling plays a disparate role in different phases of fracture repair: implications for therapy to improve bone healing.

BACKGROUND: Delayed fracture healing causes substantial disability and usually requires additional surgical treatments. Pharmacologic management to improve fracture repair would substantially improve patient outcome. The signaling pathways regulating bone healing are beginning to be unraveled, and t...
