Japanese Scientists Transform Adipose Stem Cells Into Bone to Heal Spinal Fractures: A Breakthrough Study

Nov 12, 2025 09:40 pm CST

Researchers at Osaka Metropolitan University have developed a revolutionary technique that uses stem cells from body fat to repair spinal fractures caused by osteoporosis. By converting adipose-derived stem cells into bone-forming clusters and combining them with bone-rebuilding materials, the team successfully healed spinal injuries in rats, offering a promising minimally invasive treatment alternative for human bone diseases that could significantly improve quality of life for millions of patients.
