Endothelial Progenitor Cells Improve Directly and Indirectly Early Vascularization of Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Driven Bone Regeneration in a Critical Bone Defect in Rats
Early vascularization of a composite in a critical bone defect is a prerequisite for ingrowth of osteogenic reparative cells to regenerate bone, since lack of vessels does not ensure a sufficient nutritional support of the bone graft. The innovation of this study was to investigate the direct and in...
