Multipotent adult stem cells/precursor cells, especially of the mesenchymal and endothelial
lineage, may have great potential for bone tissue engineering. Although their potential is …

Introduction. Cancellous bone is frequently used for filling bone defects in a clinical setting. It
provides favourable conditions for regenerative cells such as MSC and early EPC. The …

The most promising strategies in bone engineering have concentrated on providing
sufficient vascularization to support the newly forming tissue. In this context, recent research …

Association of the bone‐forming osteoblasts (OBs) and vascular endothelial cells (ECs) into
a biomaterial composite provides a live bone graft substitute that can repair the bone defect …

Background A dynamic vasculature is a prerequisite for bone formation where the
interaction of bone cells and endothelial cells is essential for both the development and the …

According to present knowledge, blood derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) might act
as proangiogenic myeloid cells, which play a fundamental role in the regulation of …

In vitro prevascularization of bone grafts with endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) is a
promising strategy to improveimplant survival. In this study we show bone formation in …

Tissue engineering provides unique opportunities for regenerating diseased or damaged
tissues using cells obtained from tissue biopsies. Tissue engineered grafts can also be used …

In this study, we report the effect of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) on the biological
behavior of osteoclast precursors in vitro by establishing an indirect co-culture system of …

Bone formation involves a complex crosstalk between endothelial cells (EC) and
osteodifferentiating stem cells. This functional interplay is greatly mediated by the paracrine …
