Research summary
AI-generated

Rachel J. Blosser studies how bones heal after fractures, with particular attention to the growth of blood vessels (angiogenesis) during healing and how factors like aging, sex, high-fat diet, and diabetes affect recovery. Much of the work uses laboratory mouse models to test drugs and treatments—such as thrombopoietin and bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP-2)—aimed at improving bone repair and reducing pain.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
