Abstract excerpt
Periosteum has been demonstrated to have cell populations, including chondroprogenitor and osteoprogenitor cells, that can form both cartilage and bone under appropriate conditions. In the present study, periosteum was harvested, expanded in cell culture, and used to repair critical size calvaria...
