Craniofacial and Long Bone Development in the Context of Distraction Osteogenesis
23 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Bone retains regenerative potential into adulthood, and surgeons harness this plasticity during distraction osteogenesis. The underlying biology governing bone development, repair, and regeneration is divergent between the craniofacial and appendicular skeleton. Each type of bone formation is characterized by unique molecular signaling and cellular behavior. Recent discoveries have elucidated the...
