  "summary": "The pace of fracture repair declines with age, increasing the risk of delayed union and nonunion. Delayed union and nonunion are associated with significant morbidity and even mortality with few effective non-surgical interventions. Here, we identify cathelicidin antimicrobial peptide (CAMP) as an age-dependent regulator of bone repair. Single-cell RNA sequencing and immunohistochemistry…",
