| Research Abstract |
This study demonstrated that bone formation was stimulated by the addition of bone marrow cells to subcutaneously implanted porous β-TCP blocks in mouse. The data also suggested that recipient derived osteogenic cells migrate into the ceramic pores and contribute to new bone formation. A possible source of osteogenic cells is cells adjacent to local site or circulating osteogenic cells.
