Abstract
Neonatal animals spontaneously reduce fractures, yet the mechanical forces influencing this process are poorly understood. In this issue of Developmental Cell, Rot et al. (2014) show that muscle and the fracture callus actively position fractured neonatal bone fragments to restore their alignment, highlighting the multifaceted roles of mechanical cues in skeletal regeneration.Entities:
