Chemotactic Migration of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and MC3T3-E1 Osteoblast-Like Cells Induced by COS-7 Cell Line Expressing rhBMP-7
1 Jun 2006
Abstract excerpt
During bone development, remodeling, and repair, bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs) induce the differentiation of mesenchymal progenitor cells (MPCs) that enter into the osteoblastic lineage, and enhance the recruitment of MPCs and osteogenic cells. The process of migration is believed to be regulated, in part, by growth factors stored within the bone matrix, which are released by bone resorption. In this study,...
