Spatial and temporal gene expression in chondrogenesis during fracture healing and the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor
1 Sept 2001
Abstract excerpt
Chondrogenesis is an essential component of endochondral fracture healing, though the molecular and cellular events by which it is regulated have not been fully elucidated. In this study, we used a rat model of closed fracture healing to determine the spatial and temporal expression of genes for cartilage-specific collagens. Furthermore, to determine the effects of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) on...
