Research Abstract |
During the phase when bone is most actively regenerating, the angiogenic factors-VEGF and CCN2/CTGF proteins-are localized in osteoblasts, vascular endothelial cells, and osteoclasts near the regenerated bone. These proteins have been suggested to control bone formation and resorption and to synergistically promote bone regeneration. One hundred seventy-one candidate genes were extracted whose expression changes were related to the CCN2/CTGF gene.
