Osteogenetic Potency and New-Bone Formation by Induction in Transplants to the Anterior Chamber of the Eye

Fresh Autogenous Rib Cartilage Graft to the Malar Process of Rats with and without Removal of the Perichondrium: A Histological Study.

“…However, the perichondrium was not responsible for bone neoformation around the grafts. Endochondral ossification was not found in the control group, as suggested previously [8,21,22]. Bone neoformation was more intense close to the treated grafts, and some morphological aspects appeared to suggest endochondral ossification in such cases.…”

“…Also, it does not require functional stimuli to maintain its bulk, nor contact with the same kind of tissue for survival [3,4] In oral and maxillofacial surgery, the use of cartilage fragments from the trachea [5,6] , nasal septum[71, costochondral junction [8] and epiphiseal cartilage [8,9] has become more frequent. Among these, hyaline costal cartilage seems to show the highest graft survival rates after transplantation [4,[10][11][12].…”

Osteochondrogenesis of Free Periosteal Grafts in the Rabbit Iliac Crest

“…However, vascularization and oxygen pressure might be better on the side with the bone marrow than on the cortical bone, resulting in less bone formation in the latter place. Further, it is known that the induction and osteogenic capacity of cortical bone is insignificant when compared with that of bone marrow (Urist & McLean 1952, Burwell 1964, 1966, Cummine & Nade 1977. The filter hindered direct cell contact between the periosteal and bone marrow cells and obstructed vascularization from the bone marrow, which might explain the slower bone formation in Series 2.…”

Bone formation in .BETA.-tricalcium phosphate-filled bone defects of the rat femur: Morphometric analysis and expression of bone related protein mRNA

“…Bone is, in fact, one of the richest sources of growth factors and many growth factors can be detected in bone, including insulin like growth factor (IGF), transforming growth factor (TGF), fi broblast growth factor (FGF), and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) (30). In addition, some bone inducing factors are of great interest, such as osteogenin and bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) (14,15,(34)(35)(36). However, the β-TCP used in this study is an inorganic compound in which no growth factors or inductors exist, and thus the results of this study suggest that β-TCP promotes bone formation due to other factors.…”
