Abstract excerpt
Basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) was shown to enhance rat stromal bone marrow cells in culture to produce mineralized bone-like tissue in response to dexamethasone (Dex) treatment (Pitaru et al., J Bone Miner Res 8:919; 1993). The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of bFGF on De...
