Abstract excerpt
While it is well established that an adequate blood supply is critical to successful bone regeneration, it remains poorly understood how progenitor cell fate is affected by the altered conditions present in fractures with disrupted vasculature. In this study, computational models were used to explore how angiogenic impairment impacts oxygen availability within a fracture callus and hence regulates mesenchymal...
