The Use of Endothelial Progenitor Cells to Promote Bone Healing in a Defect Model in the Rat Femur

The objective of this project was to evaluate the effects of local endothelial progenitor cell (EPC) therapy on bone regeneration in a segmental defect in the rat femur. Animals from the EPC-treated (N=28) and control (N=28) groups were sacrificed at 1, 2, 3, and 10 weeks post-operatively. Bone heal...
