OSTEOGENIC DIFFERENTIATION OF PREOSTEOBLASTIC CELLS

摘要

The application discloses a method for making bone at a bone defect site which includes generating a member of a transforming growth factor superfamily of proteins; generating a population of cultured connective tissue cells that may contain a vector encoding a gene, or a population of cultured connective tissue cells that do not contain any vector encoding a gene; and transferring the protein and the connective tissue cells of to the bone defect site, and allowing the bone defect site to make the bone.
