Osteoblast responsiveness to VEGF : potential applications in tissue engineering
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) has a multifaceted role in bone remodelling influencing early osteoblastogenesis, promoting angiogenesis to aid bone repair and chemo-attraction of several cell types needed for bone formation. Consequently, VEGF is a good candidate for therapeutic strategie...
