March 8 (UPI) -- Researchers at Northwestern University have engineered a potent protein that has shown success at regrowing bone in mice.
Current treatments to repair injuries or defects to bone often involve surgery to graft bone from other parts of a patient's body. This procedure is often painful and can be especially difficult when treating injuries and damage to the skull or facial bones.
