Function preservation2

  • Clearing early senescent cells may prevent fracture union by releasing mechanical prestress

    Where this hypothesis actsEarly immature fracture callus in a subset of ovarian-loss fractures

    What is proposedSelectively preserve contractile early senescent stromal cells

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowNot stated in the record

    Possible resultPossible preservation of callus stabilization and fracture repair despite high total senescent burden

  • Early senescent-cell clearance may impair fracture repair by preventing fibrin removal

    Where this hypothesis actsThe early repair subset supplying net plasminogen-activating activity at fracture repair sites

    What is proposedSelectively preserve cells that supply net fibrinolytic activity

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowPreserve measured net fibrinolytic activity rather than selecting solely by an early senescence marker; the preservation technique is not stated

    Possible resultPossible maintenance of fibrin removal and progression from provisional wound matrix to a united callus
