A team of ISFR members shows that mechanical cues can modulate macrophage activity during fracture healing. Mechano-immunomodulation affects angiogenesis 🩸 and osteogenesis 🦴. Could the immune system be the key to smarter bone repair strategies? Find out more here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40409508/
