A member asked:
Which of these two tissue types do you think would heal faster following an injury? (a) cartilage or bone?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Always cartilage: The stages of healing bone fractures are: blood clots are organized by chondroblast cells into cartilage. Then invading osteoblasts convert the cartilage in bone structure; which is constantly being remodeled by both osteoclast & osteoblast cells; influenced by blood flow; physical stress loads, etc. Yet many genetic, epigenetic; physiologic controls remain poorly understood.
