Interpositional arthroplasty using iliac crest graft for TMJ ankylosis in a child: report of a case
Reconstruction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in a growing child after release of ankylosis is a challenging problem in maxillofacial surgery. One of the goals of ideal reconstruction is to…
Potential additive effect of BMP-2 and a novel oxysterol in inducing osteogenic differentiation in rabbit bone marrow stromal cells
Purpose: To determine the osteogenic capacity of combining BMP-2 and a novel growth factor in rabbit bone marrow stromal cells. Background: Current treatments of complex craniofacial osseous defects are limited…
Hedgehog signaling pathway modulates osteogenic differentiation in novel oxysterol-conditioned rabbit bone marrow stromal cells
Purpose: To determine the osteogenic capacity of a novel growth factor on rabbit bone marrow stromal cells. Background: Current reconstructive techniques for complex craniofacial osseous defects are associated with significant…
Factors influencing bone formation capacity of human embryonic stem cell-derived osteoblast-like cells
To apply human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) as a source of osteoblast-like cells (hESC-OS), factors influencing bone formation potential of hESC-OS need to be evaluated . Aims: The study aimed…
Tridimentional collagen:elastin matrices as scaffold for soft tissue reconstruction: matrix:tissue integration study
Introduction: This work studied the integration of acellular polyanionic collagen:elastin matrices derived of bovine pericardium (BP) with variable negative charge. Objective: The purpose of this work was to evaluate the…
Cranio-fronto-orbital remodeling in non-syndromic craniosynostosis: our protocol
Introduction: Fronto-orbital advancement is a procedure commonly performed in craniofacial centers for coronal and metopic suture synostosis. Several variations of the technique have been reported. We report our experience and…
