C/EBPβ mediates osteoclast recruitment by regulating endothelial progenitor cell expression of SDF-1α.

Integration of tissue-engineered bone grafts with the host bone is vital for the healing of critical-size bone defects. An important aspect of this process is bone resorption, which must be carried out by osteoclasts derived from the host. However, the mechanism underlying recruitment of host osteoc...
