Bone Healing

I found this on Facebook has anyone heard about this ???

BREAKTHROUGH IN BONE HEALING!
Scientists have developed a revolutionary injectable hydrogel that can boost bone density by up to 5X within weeks — offering new hope for millions battling osteoporosis, fractures, and bone loss.
This bioengineered gel mimics the extracellular matrix of real bone and delivers a cocktail of minerals, growth factors, and stem cell signals directly to the damaged area.

Once injected, it hardens into a bone-like scaffold, triggering the body to regrow strong, healthy bone tissue faster than ever.
In preclinical trials, it restored bone integrity in record time — without surgery or harsh treatments.
Human trials are now on the horizon, signaling a bold leap forward in regenerative medicine and orthopedic care.

No I haven't seen that. Now that's good stuff and wish they got something similar to quickly repair tendons. That would be a game changer for even athletes!

I think this is it.

Abaloparatide (Tymlos)​

Abaloparatide (Tymlos) is a medicine approved for treatment of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women and in men. It contains a protein which is similar to parathyroid hormone and increases bone formation and density. Abaloparatide is an anabolic treatment for osteoporosis because it builds bone. In clinical trials, abaloparatide greatly reduced the chance of breaking a bone in post-menopausal women with osteoporosis.

How To Take It​

Abaloparatide is a subcutaneous injection. It comes in a pen containing four weeks of medication and is injected under the skin of the stomach every day with a tiny needle. The site of your daily injection should change every day to reduce skin irritation. You should inject the medicine about the same time daily. Once the pen is used, it can remain outside of the refrigerator for the remaining doses but storing in the refrigerator is also acceptable.

To get the most benefit from use of abaloparatide, be sure to consume calcium-rich foods and/or take a calcium supplement. Total calcium intake from food and supplements should be at least 1200 mg per day. Also take vitamin D as recommended by your provider.

Side Effects​

The most common side effect (58%) is redness where the medicine is injected. Up to 20% of people can get high blood or urine calcium levels from taking the drug. Within four hours of injecting the medicine, some people have low blood pressure or feel dizzy. If this happens, your provider might ask you to inject the medicine when sitting or lying down. Use of abaloparatide is limited to two years for safety and efficacy reasons.

Diseases or defects of the skeleton are hazardous because of their specificity and intricacy. Bone tissue engineering has become an important area of research that offers promising new tools for making biomimetic hydrogels that can be used to treat bone diseases. New hydrogels with a distinctive 3D network structure, high water content, and functional capabilities are ranked among the most promising candidates for bone tissue engineering. This makes them helpful in treating cartilage injury, skull deformity, and arthritis. This review will briefly introduce the variety of biocompatible functional hydrogels used in cell culture and bone tissue regeneration. Many gel design concepts, such as crosslinking procedures, controlled release properties, and alternative bionic methodology, were stressed regarding injectable hydrogels to form bone tissue. Hydrogels manufactured from biocompatible materials are a promising option for minimally invasive surgery because of their adaptable physicochemical qualities, ability to fill irregularly shaped defect sites, and ability to grow hormones or release drugs in response to external stimuli. Also included in this overview is a quick rundown of the more practical designs employed in treating bone disorders. Essential details on injectable hydrogel scaffolds for bone tissue regeneration are described in this article.
