Delayed union of femoral fractures in older rats:decreased gene expression
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Fracture healing slows with age. While 6-week-old rats regain normal bone biomechanics at 4 weeks after fracture, one-year-old rats require more than 26 weeks. The possible role of altered mRNA gene expression in this delayed union w...
