CREATING A NEW APPROACH TOWARDS BONE HEALING: CAN WE DERIVE ADVANCED PRODUCTS FROM THE IMMUNE SYSTEM?

The European Orthopaedic Research Society (EORS) 31st Annual Meeting, Porto, Portugal, 27–29 September 2023. Part 2 of 2.



Abstract

Bone regeneration is a complex but very well organized process in which the immune system has a decisive role. The adaptive immune system and its experience level (percentage of effector and memory T cells) has been proven to influence the healing cascade especially in the early healing phases. This opens the possibility of an early intervention to enhance bone healing during the primary clinical treatment. Patients stratified for possible delayed bone healing could benefit from immunomodulatory treatment approaches. In pre-clinical studies cells and signaling molecules have been identified that could represent promising candidates to help patients in need.
