Injectable bone graft speeds up recovery

By harvesting STEM cells from bone marrow or fat, University of Michigan researchers are developing an injectable bone-grafting technique that doesn’t require invasive methods and regenerates bone quicker than current options.

This project is led by Jan Stegemann, Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Associate Chair for the Master’s Program.
