Abstract excerpt
Both, skeletal development and fracture healing depend on an orchestrated sequence of cellular growth and differentiation processes. Regional changes in tissue oxygen tension were proposed as key regulators of osteoblast proliferation and phenotype. Hypoxia results in the stabilization of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α), thus influencing expression of a multitude of genes required for cellular adaptation. In...
