title: [Molecular mechanisms underlying fracture repair].
abstract: In the developed countries including Japan, population ageing has remarkably proceeded. Among such societies, fractures in the elder have raised as the issue, which should be resolved. To facilitate fracture healing in the clinical situations, it is essential to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying fracture repair. In this review, the molecular mechanisms of fracture repair, which have been recently reported, will be introduced. These clarifications on molecular mechanisms may open the new window for the treatment to accelerate fracture healing.
