The Paracrine Role of Endothelial Cells in Bone Formation via CXCR4/SDF-1 Pathway
Vascularization is a prerequisite for bone formation. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) stimulate bone formation by creating a vascular network. Moreover, EPCs secrete various bioactive molecules that may regulate bone formation. The aim of this research was to shed light on the pathways of EPCs i...
