What Is the Role of Osteoprogenitor Cells in Bone Repair?
Osteoprogenitor cells are vital for bone repair and regeneration. When a bone is fractured, these cells are activated and proliferate to form a callus, a temporary tissue bridge that stabilizes the fracture. The osteoprogenitor cells within the callus differentiate into osteoblasts, which then produce new bone tissue to replace the callus with mature bone, restoring the bone's original structure and function.
