Biofunctionalization of synthetic bone substitutes with angiogenic stem cells: Influence on regeneration of critical-size bone defects in an in vivo murine model

The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of human bone marrow −derived endothelial progenitor cells (EPC) on vascularization and bone regeneration in combination with a bone-substitute material (BSM) in a critical-size bone defect in a murine model. Critical-size bone defects were performed and the defects were filled according to the group membership.
