Morphogenesis is the developmental cascade of pattern formation and body plan
establishment, culminating in the adult form. It has formed the basis for the emerging …

The reconstruction of large defects (> 10 mm) in humans usually relies on bone graft
transplantation. Limiting factors include availability of graft material, comorbidity, and …

FRACTURE REPAIR CAN BE considered as a biologically optimal process resulting in the
restoration of injured skeletal tissue to a state of normal structure and function. Although the …

A literature review was performed to survey the available information on the potential of
bone growth factors in skeletal reconstruction in the maxillofacial area. The aim of this …

Bone loss due to trauma or disease is an increasingly serious health problem. Current
clinical treatments for critical-sized defects are problematic and often yield poor healing due …

Tissue engineering combines the aspects of cell biology, engineering, material science, and
surgery to generate new functional tissue, and provides an important approach to the repair …

Morphogenesis is the developmental cascade of pattern formation, body plan establishment,
and the architecture of mirror-image bilateral symmetry of many structures and asymmetry of …

The aim of the study reported here was to provide some basic and general information on
the suitability of an experimental sheep model for conducting in vivo orthopedic studies. The …

BY AH REDDI, PHD he role of bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) in bone formation
during development and in fracturehealing is now well established. In experimental animals …
