Myogenic progenitors contribute to open but not closed fracture repair
1 Dec 2011
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bone repair is dependent on the presence of osteocompetent progenitors that are able to differentiate and generate new bone. Muscle is found in close association with orthopaedic injury, however its capacity to make a cellular contribution to bone repair remains ambiguous. We hypothesized that myogenic cells of the MyoD-lineage are able to contribute to bone repair. METHODS: We employed a...
