Scientists say they have created a revolutionary ‘putty’, that they have called ‘Fracture Putty’ that can reduce healing times from months to days. The University of Georgia Regenerative Bioscience Center have used adult stem cells to produce a protein involved in bone healing and generation. This is in incorporated into a gell.
