Implant Delivers Stem Cells for Faster Healing

A human made implant similar to periosteum was attached around a bone injury to speed up the healing process. The implant contained natural periosteal strips and stem cells, simulating the body's own growth and healing processes. This method can also be used to create new cartilage for orthopedics, fuse together vertebrae, and several other applications.
