The researchers also saw similar effects in bone repair, with the engineered growth factors showing a much higher deposition of bone tissue in rats with skull defects. (sciencedaily.com)
However, studies have since observed markers of bone repair in the absence of collagen, suggesting that other effects are at play. (sciencedaily.com)
A new study suggests that DNA methylation analysis of select gene promoters can identify the optimal pluripotent stem cell for bone repair strategies (stemcellsportal.com)
